    @signalapp Help please there's no 'censorship circumvention' in my mom's and lil sis' Signal. They got their Signal blocked today in Mainland.

    @signalapp @jack Please, I need talk to you, can you help me please?

  • Sada_Gowda Sada (@Sada_Gowda) reported

    @ilidiocn @signalapp This is still a more clear and honest approach. Don't call asking for donations as begging, they have built something and want our support, you can choose not to donate and not use their service, instead of being a freeloader

  • nbougalis 𝙽𝙸𝙺𝙱 (@nbougalis) reported

    Prefer messaging services that don’t rely on phone numbers as an identifier. The otherwise excellent @signalapp relies on a phone number, but offers options to mitigate a stolen phone number; they have downsides but they’re better than nothing. P.S. Signal, please fix that!

  • chelsean507 Alberto Domínguez🇵🇦 (@chelsean507) reported

    @HaradaWins @signalapp Could you help me with this suggestion? I am sure a lot of people are wishing to reply a quoted message with a sticker... Both sticker and quoted message should be sent together in the same message

    @signalapp signal is out of service in china!!!

  • megy_chen megy chen (@megy_chen) reported

    @signalapp Can't login signal this morning, always network issue, both iPone & Mac

  • derekmross Derek Ross (@derekmross) reported

    @CassidyJames @signalapp I agree there. I'd rather have my data backup on Google Drive using the platform APIs as you mentioned so it "just works" whenever I get a new phone. Additionally, if I have a lost phone or a broken phone, this new backup and restore method does absolutely nothing for me.

  • sagarkul90 Sagar K. (@sagarkul90) reported

    @signalapp You just let us down by your **** app. No productive updates, too many bugs. Uninstalled after using for some time. Better option is telegram

  • skatcat743 SKATCAT! (@skatcat743) reported

    @signalapp “Privacy isn’t an optional mode@ Get $xmr on your partners service or roll it yourself. Using a t address on zec lmao. Get good get support.

  • aiwaarsi Imtiyaz Warsi (@aiwaarsi) reported

    @signalapp @kurth2909 Drop this idea , you'll end what made you famous (privacy) May face lot of privacy issue

  • dxxxn_ dan (@dxxxn_) reported

    @signalapp When will you fixed the “original content not found” issue with quoted responses. See multiple people having the problem and debug logs sent on GitHub as well as users experiencing it and posting on Reddit.

  • DaOverwatch Overwatch 👀 | Da Lazy Programmer (@DaOverwatch) reported

    @signalapp @isabels_moment Hey @signalapp I have problem with the app in OPPO A32. If I am not in the app. I don't receive messages. When I open the app I receive all the messages at once. Why is that? Works fine for me in Samsung Galaxy.

  • CassidyJames Cassidy James Blaede (@CassidyJames) reported

    @derekmross @signalapp If you don’t trust the encryption in the first place, that’s a bigger problem. If you do trust the encryption, then backing up the encrypted database and not the key should be safe.

  • 0x1337a1 /bin/sh#⟩ (@0x1337a1) reported

    @fortysevenfx @signalapp Downloading a desktop client doesn't solve trust on first use either. A service worker could verify static resource integrity and never expire just like desktop... Afaik the desktop app doesn't utilize any security API for storing secrets...

  • NicoleY57427293 Nicole Yu (@NicoleY57427293) reported

    @signalapp Hi signal, if has you been blocked in mainland China? I can’t receive sms to verify ytd. If can get some help?

  • matt_barrie Matt Barrie (@matt_barrie) reported

    @WilliamYang120 @signalapp Well the good news about that is it indicates that it hasn't been broken.. yet.

  • kurth2909 Kurt Hackenberg (@kurth2909) reported from Froideville, Canton de Vaud

    @lyckaform @signalapp Yes I do know that. And do you know that Siri runs as much as possible locally on your device, and if it relies on servers, it does so anonymously? So theoretically, there’s not a big problem with that... sure if you use Google assistant or Alexa, yes there is a privacy concern..

  • dalanbrown Dave Brown (@dalanbrown) reported

    Anyone else experiencing trouble with @signalapp on their Mac. I currently use a Pixel4a and MBAir. @signalapp works great on my phone but nothing syncs on the laptop. Thoughts...?

  • truthinred13 Sheldon Gay (@truthinred13) reported

    @signalapp Please respond to my tweets from the other day about my friend being unable to receive my texts.. If they're not using Signal, does it still go to them encrypted? Any way to adjust settings to account for this? Not sure that's the issue but it's a work phone so it's a theory

  • emilyjaneross Emily Ross (@emilyjaneross) reported

    Hey @signalapp I love you. Mostly because my kids couldn't open your app while using my phone for school because it took my fingerprint to open it. But NOW Android swipe function is enabled to access which of course they know. What's the fix please?

  • skatcat743 SKATCAT! (@skatcat743) reported

    @signalapp “Privacy isn’t an optional mode.”Get $xmr on your partners service or roll it yourself. Using a t address on zec lmao. Get good cryptos get support.
