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
-
Spamfighter (@spamfighter666) reported@privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization
-
SPONGEBOB (@faris_sajjad343) reportedHow can i leave the groups or delete my signal account because whenever i try to do that it say network problem even i have best internet connection @signalapp
-
Bombardino Crocodillo (@io32kmd0c93j30m) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Hey, signal is not working in India. The website shows no outage, can you look into it?
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp watched phishing kits move from login pages to fake support scripts after trust improved
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
FAFO (@areyoukay) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp Stop giving kids smart phones Problem solved It’s on the lazy *** parents
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
-
Hammad Maqbool (@iMrHammad) reported@PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?
-
Liz Mair (@LizMair) reported@signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.
-
Alberto Nunez (@Alberto8793) reported@signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏
-
Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved
-
Polacken (@polacken5k) reported@CityofHats @signalapp I mean, only the latest version of Signal supports linking phones and Android tablets as clients, so the version is kind of obvious. And yes, I agree, this is not a security issue. It is just a sync bug.
-
MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
Недовольний твітер (@_vlad_che_) reportedWhen I want to transfer data from desktop (without a camera) to mobile @signalapp, I open the desktop QR , then I select "Transfer from other device" on mobile and get another QR. What next? Scan QR by QR? Maybe you have mental problems to create such a stupid flow.
-
The Earl of Wankinshire (@dfsgdfgdfdgf34) reported@yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@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?
-
Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reportedWhatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.
-
Jess (@theweb3jess) reported@sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet
-
@overbyte@gamepad.club (@overbyte) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents
-
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.
-
Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reportedThey don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp
-
John (@johnspaetzel) reported@signalapp And I didn't realize before this that signal had a backup service. So that's $2/mo ad-infinitum
-
Charlie (@chardidathing) reported@evowizz @signalapp I think a majority of the issue with building a fully custom client is integration/feature parity with the official app(s). I do believe you could fork Signal and make some major improvements though, and just maintain it as a fork.
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@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.
-
Gurio (@StasisRush) reportedHuh, the @signalapp ended up to be the worst possible connector for an agent bot identity. I didn’t not expect to say it, but here it goes: WhatsApp is a easier to setup if you want a messaging face for your service/platform
