  • ValeroHahn Valero Hahn (@ValeroHahn) reported

    @grok @signalapp @ThreemaApp Pay for the quality and service they provide, it's reasonable. And I guess it is planning to adjust PQC soon.

  • Shamex_Ent Shamex (@Shamex_Ent) reported

    Privacy is a practice, not a choice: Make it a habit - even when seeking help. With secure @EdgeWallet support on @SignalApp, you can get assistance without giving up control over your data.

  • CavemanComfy14 Comfy Caveman (@CavemanComfy14) reported

    @YourRightPrice @0hour1 @signalapp Signal is not at fault here. They provide a service many of your allies have used in the past. You’re like the people who blame gun manufacturers for murders. Stop.

  • joellatto Joel Latto (@joellatto) reported

    TIL when downloading photos from Signal sometimes they come as "signal-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.jpeg" and sometimes as "IMG_xyz.jpg" Even photos from the same message can come in different formats. @signalapp any help?

  • Kaajja__backup KAAJJA BACKUP PAGE (@Kaajja__backup) reported

    @EdgeWallet @signalapp Make privacy a habit even when asking for help. Learn how to get private, secure Edge support on @signalapp

  • officialmrwrigh Aderemi O.Q (@officialmrwrigh) reported

    @_spiriituaL @signalapp Its been happening for the longest now But it’s goes well when using other country number Didn’t know if they have problem with Nigeria

  • yurilima86 Yuri Lima 🍋 (@yurilima86) reported

    @signalapp It's a very good feature! Just hope you don't have to use it because it gives an error in the security key... (yes, I saved my key properly in a safe place and it doesn't work!)

  • offendnoone offend no one (@offendnoone) reported

    @_spiriituaL @signalapp Let’s troubleshoot this Signal issue and get you connected!

  • PoliticsAired Politics Aired (@PoliticsAired) reported

    @signalapp People complaining that they have to pay for a service. The entitlement of those who have grown up getting free stuff at the cost of their privacy.

  • TLDInvestors TLD Investors (@TLDInvestors) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp @morganlinton happening faster than you mentioned all these security problems.

  • mattlindn Matt L (@mattlindn) reported

    @camhigby @signalapp These people are violating the law. You should shut down this group chat so that they cannot coordinate to violate the law.

  • SAP127001 S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported

    Why providing your number to a messaging service @signalapp makes no sense: 1. Why do they need it? They don’t. 2. Why do they ask for it? To track you. 3. Why do effective E2E encrypted zero knowledge messengers not ask you for it? They don’t need it.

  • RudiDueck Photographer Rudi Dueck (@RudiDueck) reported

    @signalapp for some odd reason I’m having difficulties today receiving notifications or the messages not coming in until I open the app on iOS is there an issue after yesterday‘s updated?

  • Lachlan_Mc Lachie 888 🌴 (@Lachlan_Mc) reported

    @botzero_net @theonejvo @signalapp LOLZ. did they think to ask the thing if it was secure and how much trouble they were in? (no)

  • DinkoDIvanov Динко Иванов (@DinkoDIvanov) reported

    @signalapp hello, I can't register my phone number. Is there a global problem or it's just in Bulgaria? Every time I try, it's says that there is a problem with sending sms with verification code.

  • theonejvo Jamieson O'Reilly (@theonejvo) reported

    @KieranOnBase @signalapp tldr: not the end of the world, this vuln only impacted users behind reverse proxies (which was still quite a number of users). patch is now merged to main code so all good for that specfic issue

  • curveditor HaROON (@curveditor) reported

    @signalapp but i cant get code for verification please help and guide. thanks in advance.

  • realstevebarnes Steve Barnes (@realstevebarnes) reported

    @camhigby @signalapp needs to take this channel down and block the comms in the interest of public safety.

  • mac__nelson Nelson (@mac__nelson) reported

    @_spiriituaL @signalapp It is a Nigeria problem sir, I use signal but I can’t open another account with any other number. They blocked Nigeria from using the app. @signalapp all Nigerians use your app!!!

  • brytophobia Onyemaliniechi Bright 😎🌞 (@brytophobia) reported

    @flexy_420 @_spiriituaL @signalapp Every app, website or platform has issues with Nigeria. Is it a crime to come out of this western African country? 😔

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @YAJames10 @_spiriituaL @signalapp Signal is a free messaging app focused on privacy. It's used for secure text, voice/video calls, and file sharing with end-to-end encryption, making it popular for personal and professional communication where security matters. If you're facing login issues, try checking your internet or app updates.

  • Mozullique Zulhilmi 🧑🏼‍🚀 (@Mozullique) reported

    @signalapp I need help registering as it kept saying that “something is wrong” as I want to register my phone number. I have tried following the troubleshooting steps but all to no avail. I need this for work, can you help me ASAP? thank you.

  • sadturnian winona (@sadturnian) reported

    @RealXcobar @signalapp hi do you still cant use Signal? mine not working to get otp code too

  • BeensoLonef1 Beenso Lonely (@BeensoLonef1) reported

    @signalapp DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR APP IS BEING USED MY INSURRECTIONISTS? I will do everything I can to SHUT YOU DOWN.

  • Bakerfour Blueeyes (@Bakerfour) reported

    @signalapp it looks like you have a major issue with communist group committing felony crimes. Is this something you want for your company? I hope you are not apart of this horrible group.

  • Silent_Whale_ Silent Whale 🧬 (@Silent_Whale_) reported

    @EdgeWallet @signalapp Privacy by default matters, secure support channels build trust without sacrificing help or usability

  • PKaty1957 PiperKaty1957 (@PKaty1957) reported

    I hope you all realize that the only city this is happening in as Minneapolis. It was a planned insurrection by Frye, Walz, Omar with a help from that “police chief”. They don’t want you to pay attention to the Somali $9 billion fraud. They used @signalapp. The Lt Gov runs it

  • KlauriMom Karen - Mom Cervante (@KlauriMom) reported

    @MrAndyNgo @signalapp Criminals are going to go to jail these are federal crimes not state. Your dems cannot help you this time
