    @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

    Hi @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?

    @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.

    @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

    @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.

    @signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

    Once again, aws is down, @signalapp too. It cannot be trusted.

    @simulx4 @signalapp I'm working on it! It's a hard problem to solve, and even with my current solution there is some metadata leakage. Some of the metadata can be obfuscated for protocols that aren't many-to-many in large numbers.

    @meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?

  • TallNupinks

    @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.

    @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

  • literaryjoe
    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.

    @signalapp When will Google and Apple's passkey login be supported? Both telegram and wechat next door have been supported, and it comes from the loyal appeal of an advanced user who supports signal software development every month.

    @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

    @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.

    @signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.

    @signalapp Having issues to reregister on #iPhone. Always shows 'something-went-wrong.-try - after - sometime" message. :(

  • mpost_io
    Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported

    ✅ @Apple has rolled out a software fix to address a flaw that stored notifications marked for deletion on the device. This vulnerability allowed the @FBI to read deleted messages in @signalapp. The update comes weeks after it was revealed that the agency managed to forensically extract copies of incoming #Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone in connection with an attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center facility. This was possible even after the app had been deleted, by exploiting the fact that copies of message content were stored in the device’s push notification database. Signal’s developers thanked Apple for its “quick action and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue.”

    Damn, 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

  • NolteIT
    Marcin Nolte 🇵🇱🇩🇪🇺🇸 (@NolteIT) reported

    @signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.

    @signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?

  • Rainwashmee

    @signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported

    @KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.

    @signalapp Phone Video calls are broken on Android since the last update

    @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?
