not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported@aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

sam (@Samortelle) reported@signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

anthonychopra (@anthonychopra) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too
-
Mark Hissink Muller (@markhm) reportedHi @signalapp. On iOS you ask for my recovery key as a reminder. This makes no sense to me. Either I still have it or I don't. If I don't have it anymore, your reminder will not help. What am I missing?
-
RUL (@RUL_FE) reported@signalapp Please fix the group bug. After I remove some accounts that have already been deactivated from the group, the group member count does not change and does not reflect the actual number of members.

Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedanyone having issues with @signalapp ?

Stephen Gary (@missyNelso69913) reported@signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.
-
Krles ✝️🇻🇦☧ (@krles_krles) reportedIf Epstein was using @signalapp and not email, none of this would be an issue.
-
Liberty NH 🦔⚡️🌲 (@NHpilled) reported@signalapp Is Signal down right now?
-
David Mann (@DavidMann666) reported@signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...
-
🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported@DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.
-
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.

Mohammad Belayet Sarder 🇧🇩🇵🇸 (@MBelayetSarder) reported@signalapp Having issues to reregister on #iPhone. Always shows 'something-went-wrong.-try - after - sometime" message. :(
-
Ari (@arixanxim) reported@signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!
-
miguel (@Miguelwtfzu) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?
-
जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported@signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

SheLiveth (@SheLiveth) reported@signalapp @Longtstanding Hegseth in trouble
-
Naeem Numberdar (@naeemnumbardar) reported@signalapp Unable create new account help me.
-
Sascha Dämgen 🧐 (@sascha_daemgen) reported@signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.
-
mrs kzg.eth née kassandra (@kassandraETH) reportedi think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??
-
Radha Khan (@RadhaKhn) reported@dubeyamitabh @signalapp hmm, that is everyone switches, problem is most won't, so stuck to same old!
-
Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Patrick Di (@PatrickBDi) reported@signalapp The server is currently down?
-
Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported@signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.
