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

  • cyp3_xyz
    CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

  • TristandeAlwis

    @signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.

  • ChangW30200
    常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported

    @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

    @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.

    @TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

    Best privacy service: @2FAS_com @signalapp @ProtonVPN What did I miss?

  • seqnzes

    @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  • evowizz
    Dy 🌸🌈 (@evowizz) reported

    @chardidathing @signalapp I can see why, although having a fork has some limitations. How would would I keep? How much would I change? If I start forking and just change most of it, it's as good as a new project anyway. Besides, the parity issue happens with the clients of most apps, even simple forks

  • biddaddy_lc
    Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported

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

  • polacken5k
    Polacken (@polacken5k) reported

    @CityofHats @signalapp I mean, only the latest version of Signal supports linking phones and Android tablets as clients, so the version is kind of obvious. And yes, I agree, this is not a security issue. It is just a sync bug.

  • StefanBrindusa

    @blankanticensor @daily_romania @signalapp Signal is fully open source, alongside all its algorithms, and they stand unhacked - everyone is watching. If Telegram was hacked with closed-source server, it's up to them if they truly want to let the few million eyes to fix them. Only up to them, their sole choice.

    @signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages

  • idea_catalogue
    Idea Catalogue (@idea_catalogue) reported

    @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 ******

  • craig100
    Craig Stevens (@craig100) reported

    @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.

  • BInvestHQ
    B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported

    @signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @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).

  • iMrHammad
    Hammad Maqbool (@iMrHammad) reported

    @PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?

  • aleksisjoberg
    Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported

    @nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time

  • 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)

  • seb_mc2

    @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

  • JayMutzafi
    Jay Mutzafi (@JayMutzafi) reported

    @signalapp why is Face ID so slow only on signal? Whyyyy? I beg of you to fix it. It’s death by a thousand unlocks. It’s a tiny torture that slowly sends me into madness each day. Please of the love of all that’s secure and private, fix it.

  • deuslexic
    Deus (@deuslexic) reported

    Signal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  • sebuzdugan
    Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported

    @signalapp no repro matters but listed checked versions would help teams close noisy incident queues

  • erikvallart
    Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported

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

  • engipolity
    engicom Africa (@engipolity) reported

    @WIFI_DE_ @signalapp Wr had the same issue for weeks. They don't even reply to messages. I am giving up on Signal.. it looks like they are shutting us out.. i used to have the account then changed my phone. Phew . Their nightmare started.

  • ckv1432
    cbigelow (@ckv1432) reported

    @WhatsApp I downloaded the app, created account, & created family group. I then got a message saying I am permanently banned for violating your TOS. I never even actually used it. I only signed up. Great customer service. @signalapp can you help a mom out?

  • heyadarsha
    Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

  • georgebernhard
    Götz von Berlichingen #FBPE (@georgebernhard) reported

    @The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.
