@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp This ain’t an Apple problem though.iMessage is the top messaging service for Americans. Google wants Apple to fix their problems for them.

@jova043 @_LifeWithMell @signalapp It's a problem Apple chose to create and a problem Apple continues choosing to sustain. If it is a problem for Apple or not, isn't relevant. Google wants Apple to implement the upgrade to SMS/MMS. Apple refusing to do so is the same as if they only supported 2G phone calls.

@signalapp I was unlinked from Signal on two desktops (Mac and Linux) today. Nothing happens when I point the in-app linking camera view at the QR codes from displayed on either devices. What’s up? A friend told me earlier today that they had the same issue.

@ayemikey86 @motherboard Not all messaging services — had they used 1 that offers end-to-end encryption & doesn't keep a copy of the decryption key (like @signalapp), the messaging service wouldn't have had anything useful to hand over. (I think Meta's own WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption now, too.)

@signalapp Signal closes 1 second after opening on Motorola Power G. Closed app. No change. Rebooted phone. No change. Help!

@fr_brennan @signalapp There's unfortunately just not a good answer to this; people generally like the convenience of centralization but the only way to have that centralization at that scale is either from a big company which causes the money issue.

@DJVsha @christitustech Just dumb down your smartphone. Uninstall anything you can. Install only foss, tracker-free apps. If you go dumb as nokia, then strip your phone all the way and just install @signalapp (it can send sms as well for those contacts that don't have signal)+ vpn. You'll be better off.

@Seliene_ @signalapp Agreed, and that’s what happens. Just was never an issue with WhatsApp. The chat history would sync across everything regardless of time

@fr_brennan @signalapp Tbh the problem with signal is similar to all centralized messaging apps. In the end, their bottom line is what drives them and they probably don't want to bother with the extra cost it adds to technical support that they think it could add.

@bhcarpenter @signalapp Don't put anything in writing if you're unsure what app/tech to use. Even though we all hate phone calls, this is probably the safest bet (minus the obvious single-party/two-party recording consent issues, but that's unrelated). Note: No voicemails.

@BurnerWah @RealGlenMerlin @signalapp fair, but also to be fair telegram secret chats aren't really broken security-wise either. so it's kinda just meh, it'll be fine either way more than likely

@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp Google has no say in how Apple runs their business. And it being a problem for Apple or not is relevant. Apple is literally gonna go on not caring what Google wants. Maybe they should run their business better and not half *** messaging on Android

@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp Google created the problem. They are the ones crying all the time and wanting to destroy Apple's perfect and safe solutions.

@PatrickDattilio @signalapp Still requires a phone number for sign up, though you could always use a service like twilio or Google voice to get a phone number that isn't your normal day to day one, if it's a problem.

@SnazzyQ @MKBHD Using @signalapp solves all the problems no need for RCS. I am pretty sure google will lose interest in supporting after a while. Not to forget the number of apps they created and shutdown

Meta is an awful company, but they were complying with a search warrant. The problem is they collect this data in the first place. Messaging services need to be designed to minimize data. You can't hand over data you don't have. @signalapp excels at this.

@Seliene_ @signalapp Yep, checked. Thanks for trying to help though. The messages do send, but only after I sent a second to the same person.

@yuwukii @signalapp only issue is it wont solve anything because iphone users still mostly use iMessage, so we gotta find an alternative solution or improve the current ones

Public service message to all dissidents of the regime: change you online habits! There are many services you can use to increase opsec: @ProtonMail (email / calendar / file sharing) and @signalapp (messaging) to start. @cryptpad for documentation collaboration. Use VPN too.

@_LifeWithMell Why should everyone else buy an Apple device to solve a problem Apple created? You should download and use the free @signalapp instead.

@signalapp often when I send a message I see one circle and it doesn’t send, then if I later send a second, both are then delivered (2 circles). It happens too often to be random network issues. Any idea?

(4) TODAY is a great time to start using only messaging services that support end to end encryption & *setting auto delete up* because if an "end" (i.e. your phone or someone else's) is intercepted before deletion, E2EE won't help much I recommend: @signalapp @WhatsApp @telegram

@dalast1woke @HarpSilver @signalapp Its that line "its time for apple ti fix texting" no Google no its not. Its time for you to get your act together and in fairness they really are making a big effort but it's come VERY late in the game.
