    Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reported

    Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

    @signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

    @bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

    @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 ******

    @smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security

  • 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.

  • Ammir
    AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported

    Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

    @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

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

    @yrschrade @orithellama @signalapp You need more than that. It’s not the encryption that’s the problem with Signal, it’s the pre exposed mobile number and by extension home address

    @signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.

    @topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep

    So @signalapp what the play here? Can't bow down to this rule.

    @sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet

  • mag_restlin
    ast_pap (@mag_restlin) reported

    @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  • zchat_app
    Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported

    @signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it

  • Dancinfoxy
    Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported

    @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • Rainwashmee
    Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported

    @signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • anthonychopra
    anthonychopra (@anthonychopra) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too

  • eternal747
    Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported

    @KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.

  • agaefendi_
    Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported

    @Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.

  • PaulSmithDM
    Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported

    @bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful

  • beatrizelenaf
    @beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported

    @signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

    @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

  • 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.

  • wadejbeckett
    Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported

    @signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

  • IvanJaros
    🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported

    @TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content
