@signalapp Asking for a phone number to use your app is not private. It's hypocrisy. Fix your app, and regain the people's trust. Fortunately, there are much better alternatives.

@signalapp This it’s why I don’t take photos in signal. No point taking stuff that just disappears. And with Advanced Data Protection on iPhone this is a non-issue (which everyone should turn on). You should give people the option to save to their camera roll automatically.

@joshjob42 @signalapp Back ups, terrible for security.

@EliasAarnio @markus_ottela @signalapp Idk if you read that but you literally copy or write down the 30 digit pass phrase/key and can save the backup file anywhere. With ADP you also write down the key that protects all your data. So whatever security implications there are for the one apply to the other.

@markus_ottela @signalapp Yeah well I think Signal should be the app everyone uses for chat and for that to happen it needs to give people the ability to lose their phones and still recover all their messages. A secure service ~no one uses isn’t worth anything vs one that’s 99% as secure that most use.

@cocoataster @signalapp If you can name a very particular edge case user story, that does not help the overall user experience where a proper backup is needed for safety reasons

@signalapp OR fix the software and allow me to use Signal on multiple devices...

(@cocoataster) reported
@shifthappends @signalapp We need to remember Signal is about privacy, and by having our messages only in our device we lose some “convenience” and might face issues like the one you described above. Same if you were to have some written notes and they got wet and unreadable on a rainy day… **** happens

I am wondering why supposedly "private" and "anonymous" services like Signal and Proton(mail) requires your phone number and / or backup email when registering? I will never use a service that requires any form of identifiable metadata when registering. @signalapp @ProtonMail

@signalapp Your whole back up method is useless. Most people that purchase a new phone either trade in tbeir old phone or have lost or broken it, so how many people is your system actually gonna work for??

@signalapp I have been using signal for the past few years without any major issues but since last week or so, the app seems to be not working at its best ,there is a delay in message delivery,providing notification for the messages and droping of calls after being connected.

@signalapp But god help you if you lose your iPhone, every message you ever had, including dead loved ones, are gone forever. Please enable backup using standard app backup to iCloud if people have advanced data protection on, or create some other backup solution for iOS.

@shifthappends @cocoataster @signalapp Availability is indeed part of security, but systems that pass the puddle test come with a ton of new security problems. For example, do you want your peers with incredibly bad password-habits uploading your 1:1 conversation to the cloud?

@signalapp But now that you're ending support for SMS why bother. You all are really ruining a great thing. I have advocated to get several friends on signal. I know longer advocate because App usability will soon be broken. Please reconsider.

@signalapp Is there a way I can access the chat message API to read/write from it? (For instance, automating my "Notes to self" messaging from the command line). Appreciate any kind of help on this.

@kirkadkins703 @signalapp They refuse to address the issue, Moxie's dismissal of Chinese activists being detained due to the IME exploit can be seen elsewhere in this thread.

@cocoataster @signalapp Yeah but this is not about opinions, this is a fact, had to learn it the hard way when phone broke down and every user with lost or broken phone will lose msgs and media, all of it — imagine a bank where you lose your funds and stocks when your cashcard breaks - not safe, agree?

@signalapp yesterday's update on Android (1/4) crashes the app on launch. Today's update (1/5) didn't fix it. Google Pixel 4a. I've reset the app, even uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck. This is unfortunate, because now all the message I've gotten since yesterday are lost.

@signalapp To be clear: I'm talking about linked devices. In this case it's the windows client on a machine that worked before. It stopped working. I'm getting an error that says something like "invalid answer from the service".
