  @VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.

  @signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??

  @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).

  @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

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

  @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.

  @meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?

  @signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  @signalapp is not working for them all

• 
  BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 19 minutes ago

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

  Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported 21 minutes ago

  @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

  Apparently @signalapp is down.

  AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported 24 minutes ago

  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.

  Did @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

  Beyond AI (@BeyondAI01) reported 32 minutes ago

  @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

  @signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it

• 
  Man with scandalous behavior (@giyasibrahim) reported 34 minutes ago

  @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

• 
  Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported 34 minutes ago

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

• 
  Ben has opinions. (@RealAndersonBen) reported 35 minutes ago

  @chriskalos_xyz @signalapp They still have servers. They just don't store unencrypted messages or encryption keys on them. Also, they are Amazon's servers that are down. Everything that uses AWS is affected.

  @signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.

  @FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.

• 
  Tim (@timderoode) reported 40 minutes ago

  @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?

  @0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.

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

•

  @TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content

  anyone having issues with @signalapp ?

• 
  जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported 49 minutes ago

  @signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

  @signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.
