-
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

calle (@callebtc) reportedPSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).

Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Hey, signal is not working in India. The website shows no outage, can you look into it?
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported@signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported@zentex @signalapp All security eventually comes down to some sort of secret. Passkeys, 2FA, etc. are great because they don't require you to share secrets like passwords do. They are nearly impossible to hack. But they still require some bit of knowledge that a social engineer can get from you

Sa'id al Athari (@SaidAlAthari) reported@_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice
-
🥷pirate🦜smith🏴☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported@callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal
-
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.
-
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.
-
Ian Bradbury (@bradbury2010) reported@PaulSmithDM @signalapp I thought "crap parents are so terrified of" might have been a clue that I agree with you completely. The missing tone of voice makes it harder though. I regard this "ooh the kiddies" as utterly despicable. The problem now is to find a party that won't do it.
-
Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported@TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported@signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it
-
CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?
-
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.

alienznbotz.nft (@alienznbotz) reported@signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.
-
Jay Mutzafi (@JayMutzafi) reported@signalapp why is Face ID so slow only on signal? Whyyyy? I beg of you to fix it. It’s death by a thousand unlocks. It’s a tiny torture that slowly sends me into madness each day. Please of the love of all that’s secure and private, fix it.
-
thunder (@thunder2585) reported@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi
-
@overbyte@gamepad.club (@overbyte) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents
-
Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.
-
Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported@agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now
-
Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported@signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.
-
angelina.jolie (@jolieangel2323) reported@signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.
-
Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved
-
ENIGMA 🦍 (@MelvinDaEnigma) reported@signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

Web3Privacy Now (@web3privacy) reportedGiving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.

@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
