@censuritis @signalapp I copied no ones comment. I didn't check the code for some time. The connection to my phone number is still a big privacy problem.

@signalapp Hi, for about a week now I'm having trouble sending messages. It just takes a very long time, but the problem seems to be intermittent. The issue occurs with all contacts. Is this a known problem? Server troubles?

@oysteinalvervik @signalapp Yes, but it's not done yet after all these years, so I'm asking them to fix it. I'm not "forgetting" anything. I'm considering it important that journalists/dissidents under authoritarian regimes be able to use a privacy focused messenger with privacy, without workarounds.

@signalapp If you just finally fix the design flaw requiring people give out their extremely personally identifiable mobile phone numbers to people to start conversations, instead of allowing e-mail or username identifiers, you would become undeniably the best messenger all aspects. Fix it!

@Elmar_Raguse @FssOfDeath @signalapp Voice memos work fine for me. I just tested it and it was fine. Previous uses of voice memos worked. What exactly is the problem that your having?

@Elmar_Raguse @signalapp Yup painful I know maybe speaking to them letting them know your privacy concerns might help them to understand why it’s a better switch bud 👍 all you can do is try right hehe 🙃

@KounisTou @signalapp Oh I see what u are talking about. It's an issue with your phone limiting background process for the signal app. Goto fone settings/apps/signal/battery/allow background activity. You can also fix it under the battery optimization usage under phone settings. That's how I fix mine

@signalapp If signal would let people easily migrate from WhatsApp to signal with their whole media and chat backup, they would love to do it. But you guys don't even have the web app yet due security issues.

@signalapp The simplest privacy issue in video call is one shouldn’t be able to record video which @WhatsApp lacks. One of the many.

@netzverweigerer @ThreemaApp @signalapp I disagree, marketing exists for a reason, and that's spreading awareness. Usually about one's product(s). If people don't know about an issue it's unlikely they will encounter it and dig deeper into it. Word of mouth will only take you so far, unfortunately.

@TheHorseman_99 @signalapp Yes, hardware security is a different risk. Erase old messages and never let your phone out of control. Airplane is a problem.

(@b9AcE) reported
@JakeDEvans @signalapp The problem is that Signal should fix their privacy-focused messenger to no longer include this major fundamental flaw, not requiring users to use workarounds, which may not even be available to those that need privacy protected the most.

@signalapp That's great. But can you guys fix the problems with invisible call notifications? Some of my friends are switching back because of this 😔 Also, still waiting for that "only admins can post" feature 🙄

(@AngelaScholder) reported
@signalapp The only privacy issues are indeed the phone number, which very often, and in some countries required by law, can be traced back to the person, and that Signal notifies you of contacts opening or having a Signal account. Only someone telling someone else themself it should be!

@Elmar_Raguse @signalapp I feel that it’s not a signal problem as much as a user complacency problem I’d love all my family and friends make a switch to a more end to end secure platform like signal but it’s “easier” for ppl which is unfortunate

@signalapp I have switched to @signalapp and have moved my family and friends to it as well. Until problems started to arise. First the message notifications at emergency time were not coming up. Then the video calls constantly disconnecting. This made us unfortunately leave Signal 😕

(@Steve_Kong) reported
@CadillacRod @signalapp The trick is not to have user names but to implement it such that the server does not learn your social graph. Although phone numbers can be a problem, they are also information that's already publicly available no matter what. But usernames are coming.
