  @signalapp Signal's service in China is break down, can you guys check it,

  Victor Toulouse (@vctlse) reported 4 minutes ago

  @signalapp OK, I have to read that a bit carefully. But overall it seems to be mostly about what «the Signal service» knows, or rather does not know, and not about what 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 can discover using the content of your address book.

  @vj_chidambaram @WhatsApp Honestly, I am shocked that both my family and my wife’s moved over to @signalapp as quickly as they did (been a couple of months now). Most of them don’t even have a tech background but I did help by telling them why it was important.

  @signalapp You have to fix the issue of the phone not ringing and the message "missed call" appearing instead, so that people can sense the usefulness of the app and then donate

  @signalapp Yo @signalapp my friends are super upset that they can't send "live" pictures as gifs in our group chat, can you prioritize that CR please? Don't worry I got your back, they won't sell out as long as I'm around, but help me out here a bit :)

  @Chris_Yeung98 @signalapp it's basically just fanmail-by-SMS, the number gets routed through a service and it's about as direct as mentioning them on Twitter

  @echo_pbreyer The source document you linked says service providers are “obliged” but it’s not “mandatory”. E2E messaging apps surely have nothing to worry about, specially those built in the US, which they all pretty much are? aka @signalapp

  @soumyajitbarua @signalapp "Here's a state of the art secure messaging service that you can choose to pay for or not." "Great. Where's the new features? I'm bored." Fking people.

  @Sridhar_Salem @signalapp @WhatsApp Problem is contacts haven't switched. Especially small-scale vendors.

  @signalapp with you and @Teleguard_ pushing out secure messaging apps it is being compromised by the lack of a secure keyboard. Can't the both of you, and other such companies, get together and design one? Or help Foss Openboard Keyboard to improve and make it more secure.

  @J_KubWI @signalapp It doesn't allow sms messages to be imported that's the problem, the initial setup doesn't allow it and once your are in the app there is no option to import. The only way to get it to work was go back to an earlier version, run setup then update.

  @signalapp Shouldn't a service worker address all of your concerns regarding a web application?

  @Experdiza @btwImAli @signalapp Huh 🤔 I wonder why? I have definitely been using it. Recently texted my IT guy and and he replied on signal. My only issue is I can’t seem to search in my string on my iPhone? No little dots in my right corner??
