@signalapp Why can't I receive SMS OTP login codes from my bank or some retailers? But I do get the codes if I enable my stock messages app.

@pyrrhl glad its not just me. i updated thinking "AWESOME MORE COLORS TO PICK FROM :DD" and then i see that my bubbles are colored now? even though it was never like that in the past?? and it makes no sense to color my own messages on an individual basis??? 😒 @signalapp plz fix

@RebornWhs @signalapp @EFF keeps doubling down supporting the person instead of just the protocol, that's a mistake. The protocol is solid, but it's being managed by a person who treats vulnerability disclosures as a personal attack. That's repeatedly endangered people and made the software less safe.

In other words: I sent photo to person A two days ago. Today I sent a message with only text to Group message not including person A. That message somehow also sent those photos from two days ago. @signalapp please fix.

@Thematizer @moxie @signalapp The only issue is FUD like "Non-scary documentation makes me put Signal into less trusted bin".

@jack @JesseDorogusker @signalapp used to support encrypted SMS and there were some issues, but if you are controlling the hardware, there may be some good ways to handle this in a more trustless way. To be able to do something like Lightning payments safely w/o internet would be so cool.

@ComradeEevee @signalapp FYI that you can find install files for 5.3.0 but if you install it with 5.4.0 it throws major errors from trying to open an older version, so you have to do a full uninstall & then reinstall.

@Thematizer @moxie @signalapp The identity keys and thus SN changes when the user does not migrate them to a new device. Signal can't mandate that because the old device might be lost/broken. But Signal should support migration to reduce hassle of verifying hundreds of keys every time OS is reinstalled etc.

@IanColdwater @signalapp For me it’s pairwise pseudonymous identifiers. It’s not just the name & profile picture that I want to customise - it’s the “phone number”. After I pseudonymously “Login with Apple” pretty much every service won’t complete the account creation until I provide a phone number.

@Riot_Muffin @signalapp RIGHT. They get me every single time. I'm always like "oh finally, my Many Issues will be resolved" but there's hardly ever a noticable change. Granted, I'm sure there's a boring explanation, but it seems like it's intentionally letting me down every time.

@Thematizer @moxie @signalapp The problem is trying to explain unintended safety number changes imply complex cryptographic attack such as MITM will drive away a lot of the users. Those who know they need protection from MITM attacks, know what the keys are about. The rest get opportunistic E2EE.

@signalapp hey folks, tonight Signal automatically created a group with a bunch of unknown numbers (not in my contacts) and spammed them. Help!

OK, so, I’m really over the edge… is there a way to continually keep an Electron version of @SignalApp linked ”to your mobile device” for more than like 2 WEEKS AT A TIME?! 🤯 I mean, hello? I very much admire the #encryption and OSS aspects… but the #UX kills me. Help!

@H0tdish @signalapp No I know you weren't reference Naomi's issue, but the other issue raised. I was just remarking that Naomi's was an actual bug worthy of noise. Some people make noise for noise sake at times.

@techloreistaken hi! I Have a question for you. Watched the video of @The_HatedOne_ abt @signalapp choosing cryptocrap to finance their service, putting our privacy at risk. What is your opinion about that? And what would you both use to replace Signal if it's notbworthy anymore?

@signalapp @signalapp I can only assume this update is a mistake because I cannot see a user-friendly justification for flipping the colored chat bubbles this way. So the sooner you could fix it, that'd be wonderful. Thanks. Hopefully today?
