@signalapp theres an option in signal where i can make messages disappear if I start new conversations only. Why cant messages disappear if people message me and i have it enabled? I dont like the fact how the other user can disable disappearing messages. Fix this! @signalapp

@faltenbalg @signalapp The fundamental problem with web interfaces is: there's no way to version, sign and securely distribute a web page. Instead, you're re-requesting the code you'll run every single time you visit the site (making audits practically impossible).

@bellja747 @signalapp I've swapped phones Multiple times while I've had this issue. I've also tested it with other apps that replace your default SMS AKA WhatsApp and used Google's default messaging app. And only signal does it.

@bellja747 @signalapp It literally corrupts any image not just degrade them. I can take resolution scaling down but when half the image is missing there's something very wrong

@signalapp Not sure if something is wrong in 5.21.6, sent a few images today that didn't completely render on my outgoing side (few lines of pixels, rest is gray), but look fine to the recipient and if I tap the image. Some hours later, issue is resolved on its own. Pixel 5

If you have to communicate with persons in Afghanistan, @signalapp is currently probably the most widely used secure messaging service. If you don't have to, bear in mind your communication could put people at risk.

@MeinNamenichdu @signalapp First of all it's a non profit company , they are providing us service for free, what are you expecting??? Are you paying for it? Then stop with your high horse attitude. And its not like they are not trying to fix it. Especially after @elonmusk 's tweet signal is overloaded.

@AzoraMoon @signalapp This. I could use it for client texting, etc if that wasn't a requirement. They don't know me, and I don't know them, so no one wants to give out their real number. Please fix this, @signalapp!!!

@xabean @signalapp I hate to ask, but - have you opened a ticket with @Signalapp? I had a problem a couple years ago after one of their upgrades, and they not only figured out the issue, they gave me a custom build to fix it so I didn't have to wait for the fix to come in the next GA release!

@Jmw986 @signalapp The problem is, it was hard to convince people. And suddenly the app doesn't work anymore because of the lack of updates. Many people don't want to use it any more. Then they prefer to write via whatsapp. For some, that's too much effort for too few chat partners.

@Fervent403332 @signalapp If the issue is as serious as you say you should document the problem on their GitHub, or official forums. Spamming them on Twitter is not going to get you the kind of attention you're looking for.

Hey @signalapp please fix listening to voice memos on iPhone! When listening to a voice memo holding the phone to my ear it stops playing the sound after every voice memo.. UI shows it plays the memo, but no sound. Need to exit conversation or exit app and start again. Huge PITA.
