ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@tenohtoo) reported@Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp
-
فریبرز باغ میشه (@Reza41547709) reported@signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

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. 🔐
-
fabian (@fabianleitner) reported@signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control
-
👨🏼💻🧉 Víctor Hugo Valle Castillo 🇦🇷🇨🇦 (@vihuvac) reported@signalapp is down! 😭
-
Patrick Di (@PatrickBDi) reported@signalapp The server is currently down?
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
Nasser (@nasser_kari) reportedI've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.
-
Bombardino Crocodillo (@io32kmd0c93j30m) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

Fadi Elsalameen فادي السلامين ⚡️ (@Elsalameen) reported@signalapp you have a glitch. Your view once feature allows for a screenshot. Plz fix it.
-
MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
TechContent (@TechContentinfo) reported@signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.
-
Santiago Pliego (@SantiagoPliego) reportedTIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)
-
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.

Nicholas (@undercovergreek) reported@signalapp Customer service is lacking, I paid for a service and have not been able to get it resolved with @signalapp they have not responded to multiple attempts to contacted them. Updated logs, and have newest software but there system does not let me talk to a real person
-
jonf3n (@jonf3n) reported@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?
-
青い夜の記憶 (@XBMXYW) reported@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.
-
L (@obsidian98) reported@signalapp is broken, I guess
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.
-
KRYPTZINE GØÓÑ (@kryptzine) reported@monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.
-
mrs kzg.eth née kassandra (@kassandraETH) reportedi think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?
-
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?
-
_am___❤️ (@__am_________) reported@signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help
-
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.
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
-
Mahoor (@mahoor2026) reported@Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran
-
