  I 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.

  @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

  @signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login

  @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.

  @signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?

  @signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash

  @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

  @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.

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

  @signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported 27 minutes ago

  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.

  @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.

  @signalapp Unable create new account help me.

  Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported 34 minutes ago

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

  @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

• 
  Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.

  @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

• 
  Roy (@Roy_1465) reported 43 minutes ago

  @signalapp please fix it!

• 
  Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 46 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

  mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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

• 
  TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported 51 minutes ago

  @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

• 
  Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported 51 minutes ago

  @signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.

• 
  Sascha Dämgen 🧐 (@sascha_daemgen) reported 52 minutes ago

  @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

  @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.

  If Epstein was using @signalapp and not email, none of this would be an issue.

  @DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.

  @signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.

• 
  Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported 1 hour ago

  @signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.
