  @CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here

  @signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.

• 
  Tim (@timderoode) reported 7 minutes ago

  @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?

  Currently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡

  @FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.

  @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

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

  @signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.

  青い夜の記憶 (@XBMXYW) reported 18 minutes ago

  @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.

• 
  Ambler (@AmblerKR) reported 24 minutes ago

  @signalapp @bluesky @joinmastodon Also, login should be possible without a phone number. Users should be able to sign in with either an email address or their handle.

  @signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

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

  S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported 34 minutes ago

  Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

  @signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.

  @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

  @AeldorThalion @Viber @signalapp Welp. The problem is that most of my contacts are either on fb (which I don't have anymore) or Viber. I can't just randomly tell everyone to go into signal or anything, that's usually the main issue, not whether *I* can switch. I can. My network doesn't switch🫠.

  @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  @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.

  Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reported 52 minutes ago

  Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

  CKR (@CKRSandra) reported 53 minutes ago

  @signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 54 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

  calle (@callebtc) reported 56 minutes ago

  PSA: 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).

  @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.
