  @mer__edith @signalapp After repeated messages and emails to Signal support, over issues of Indonesian numbers unable to register for signal and receiving nothing but 🦗... Beginning to wonder if there isn't something more substantially sinister going on. What is being hidden and why? If its bug - say and give a fix it timeline. If it's soft censorship, say so (aka the Gov leaned on you). Otherwise it's beginning to sound suspicious.

  @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

• 
  Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 4 minutes ago

  @Gold_Phishy @signalapp Unfortunately registration lock is not on by default. Probably because people have a hard time remembering their PIN, and Signal doesn't want you writing it down

  TIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)

  @0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.

  @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

  @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

  @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

  @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  @signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.

  @signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?

• 
  Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported 33 minutes ago

  @signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??

  Dear Men. (@Dea_rMen) reported 34 minutes ago

  @signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

  @Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

  @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

  @manasiwibi @signalapp Yes. It's still a problem. Hallo? Can you fix it signal?

  @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

  @VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.

  @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

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

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

  Did @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

  @CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here

• 
  Andrew W 🥝 (@aw_nz) reported 53 minutes ago

  @0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.

  @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

  @vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity
