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

  • SantiagoPliego

    TIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)

    Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reported

    They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

    @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?

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

    Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reported

    Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

    @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

    Hello @signalapp what is update about ur privacy breach baby? What is issue of Iphone Signal Notification Data Disclosure??

    @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

  • Krev2323
    Krev23 (@Krev2323) reported

    @signalapp The problem I have with all this **** is, it will never be used for "justice". It will only ever be used for "control". They proved it to us with the lock-downs. "YOU" got tackled, and abused by cops for trying to walk on the beach, "THEY" got to dine at restaurants,without masks

  • wadejbeckett
    Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported

    @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.

  • NewQuietY
    هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported

    @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

  • topicswithatee
    Tee Time (@topicswithatee) reported

    @signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

  • 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!

    Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported

    @signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.

  • megabyte0x
    megabyte0x.eth (@megabyte0x) reported

    @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 :)

  • ternaagor
    Joey Terna Agor (@ternaagor) reported

    @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?

  • TashiTushe
    pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported

    Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

  • ChillizHODL
    ChilizHODL⚡️ (@ChillizHODL) reported

    @signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.

    @Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground

  • MelvinDaEnigma
    ENIGMA 🦍 (@MelvinDaEnigma) reported

    @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

    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.

  • N2K4A8

    @enteio its great to see to companies being honest, i dont think they had any strong encryption in the first place but its sad that everything out there have some issues like slow speed, ui/ux bugs, no proper business model, etc except for @signalapp , but needs number to signup

  • erikvallart

    @signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.

  • spamfighter666
    Spamfighter (@spamfighter666) reported

    @privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization

  • timderoode
    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  • AJack2026
    Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV

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

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

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

    @signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026
