-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

Dear Men. (@Dea_rMen) reported@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.
-
Chris Harger (@mastasnake176) reported@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Stop giving strangers your login.
-
青い夜の記憶 (@XBMXYW) reported@signalapp When will Google and Apple's passkey login be supported? Both telegram and wechat next door have been supported, and it comes from the loyal appeal of an advanced user who supports signal software development every month.
-
calle (@callebtc) reportedPSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).

MotoMurphyADV (@MotoMurphyADV) reported@signalapp seems to be down right now.
-
Aftab Goreja (@Pas_de_quoi_) reported@FareedZakaria @mer__edith @signalapp AI game is just beginning. It will reach Nash’s equilibrium when its exploitation will hurt not just the masses but also the corporations. It could happen because people have no money to buy stuff, or there are drastic errors in algorithms (AI is approximation). But it will.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Jacob | Five Eye Tea (@FiveEyeTea) reported@FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.
-
Adrian (@push_ip) reported@cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp
-
Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported@signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash
-
TechContent (@TechContentinfo) reported@signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.
-
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
-
marcmore (@marcmore011) reported@signalapp The problem with Signal is that it doesn't use any of the contacts... Unfortunately, this is impossible.
-
Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reportedI use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.
-
Tom🌶\(^-^)/🌶 infosec.exchange/@tomlawrence (@TomLawrenceTech) reported@NetworkChuck @WhatsApp If you want to stay as secure as possible, you don't use WhatsApp. @signalapp is a far better alternative and is not run by a company with a terrible track record violating privacy laws and spying on people.

Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported@signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it
-
croix (@taintcroix) reported@signalapp appears to be down!

CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.
-
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.
-
Not here, nor there! (@0to80Eventually) reported@signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.
-
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
-
Craig D. Mansfield, PhD, EI 👨🔬🥼🥽⚗️🧪🔬☣️☢️🧮 (@craigbob99) reported@JayTC53 @camhigby @signalapp Forcing criminal activity further underground is always a terrible idea. Let them feel like they are still secure once they settle into a new group chat so law enforcement can collect evidence and take cases to court. Blowing open their comms in public instead of sending them to the FBI and awaiting arrests was, in part, a mistake. Getting many more eyes on them from technically competent investigators was good. Scattering the roaches before they could be sprayed was not so good.
-
Nasser (@nasser_kari) reportedI've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.
-
Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported@nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.
-
sam (@Samortelle) reported@signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

S'pakpaku (@U_Siphoz) reported@pule_jones Think issue is people really fell for this end to end encryption ye WhatsApp. Notice not one @telegram or @signalapp in the evidence since since

jonf3n (@jonf3n) reported@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?
