    @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

    @signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

    @TFTC21 Wait… privacy tools are supposed to protect users when access to their data is being forced, not become the problem themselves. Device privacy, encrypted communication, and network protection are all becoming essential layers. @GrapheneOS and @signalapp are examples of how privacy is being built into different parts of the stack.

    @FreedomofPress @signalapp It's very odd that you don't help promote apps that are even more secure than Signal like @SimpleXChat why is that?

  • NCyotee
    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.

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

    And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  • zchat_app
    Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported

    @signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it

    @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?

    @WIFI_DE_ @signalapp Wr had the same issue for weeks. They don't even reply to messages. I am giving up on Signal.. it looks like they are shutting us out.. i used to have the account then changed my phone. Phew . Their nightmare started.

    @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

    @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  • marchofer
    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.

  • KRinweb3
    KR 🟨 (@KRinweb3) reported

    @Daavya_vaishnav @signalapp Signal already wins on privacy and the UI is much better than many people expect. The harder problem is replacing Telegram’s bots, channels, and community infrastructure.

  • JayMutzafi
    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.

    @signalapp watched phishing kits move from login pages to fake support scripts after trust improved

    OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

    @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

    @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

    @signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be implemented through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.

    @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?

    @privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

    Signal 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!
