Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported@bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

miguel (@Miguelwtfzu) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@mer__edith @signalapp After repeated messages and emails to Signal support, over issues of Indonesian numbers unable to register for signal and receiving nothing but 🦗... Beginning to wonder if there isn't something more substantially sinister going on. What is being hidden and why? If its bug - say and give a fix it timeline. If it's soft censorship, say so (aka the Gov leaned on you). Otherwise it's beginning to sound suspicious.

AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reportedFirebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.
-
MarcG (@ThisisMarcG) reported@ritrixi @signalapp Its great for the login, but There was a decent argument for phone numbers, in order to gate the signups while still keeping it free. which made sense a while back. Passkeys still need a fallback & Users are sharing that fallback. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported@signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.

Manfred @tschisass.bsky.social 📯 💚 🌻 (@tschisass) reported.@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.
-
Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
-
Scare Crow (@Crowbar1910171) reported@signalapp is not working for them all
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
Susu Kental Asin (@TemenkuDisunat) reported@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
صدایی تو جهانم نیست♐ (@Love_Lorn9952) reported@signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.
-
_am___❤️ (@__am_________) reported@signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help
-
Not here, nor there! (@0to80Eventually) reported@signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.
-
pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reportedDamn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app
-
sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso / Global Cyber Security (@CisoDiagonal) reported@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.
-
Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported@Gold_Phishy @signalapp Unfortunately registration lock is not on by default. Probably because people have a hard time remembering their PIN, and Signal doesn't want you writing it down
-
Joey Terna Agor (@ternaagor) reported@signalapp Why am I unable to complete the set up of Signal on my new Android OnePlus 15 phone? No promised verification code to my number ever comes. I deleted my Signal account on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, reinstalled Signal on my new phone all to no avail. Any help?
-
Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported@signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it
-
Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reportedSignal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it
-
Rob Hamilton (@Rob1Ham) reported@octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing
-
Bombardino Crocodillo (@io32kmd0c93j30m) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?
