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

    @topicswithatee @signalapp Take the phone away from the kids if they’re not trustworthy. Problem solved.

    @signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks for instance someone could mail you pics you don't want, also anonymously. but i don't call for the post office to censor everyone's mail. you can choose not to open the mail from unsolicited senders. or pay a service to filter your mail and not forward ones screened for ******

    @signalapp If they force you, pull your service from the uk - this will send a powerful message. I wish apple would do the same thing ie shut off all iPhones - it would make people wake up and apple can afford to

    is AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

  • Ammir
    AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported

    Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

  • ShaswotNepal
    शाश्वोत ढुंगाना🇳🇵☭ (@ShaswotNepal) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

    @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 Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    @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

    .@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    @notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)

    @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.

    @carolecadwalla @signalapp likewise locking down childrens devices and web access is the job of parents

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  • OzSalmond
    JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported

    @carolecadwalla @signalapp Musk is a problem that needs to be dealt with entirely separately from protecting children from material our society has decided to bar them from. Musk and his like are a separate problem we MUST deal with anyhow. Using them as an excuse to avoid helping kids is absurd

    @PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀

  • Rainwashmee
    Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported

    @signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    @signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix

  • anubandhsutra
    Abhishek Puri (@anubandhsutra) reported

    @durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.

    @akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

    @signalapp please fix it!

  • 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

  • callebtc
    calle (@callebtc) reported

    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).

    @TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)

    @signalapp Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)

    My mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.
