@signalapp Starting signal, the lock of signal(using my fingerprint registered by my smartphone) sometimes precedes my smartphone's lock. Hence, sometimes I can't operate my smartphone. Which causes this trouble, signal app or my smartphone...?

@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp Yes it is, but it also means a publicly available code is open for scrutiny, improvements and patches. They have taken a stand on why they can't make the service self-hosted. In similar fashion they need to own this, instead of ignoring all questions.

@BarisBalic @signalapp @telegram Not encrypted by default, repeated security issues, for-profit

@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp It can't be verified entirely, but to an extent it can be since the build will be reproducible, and there will be inconsistencies. Thought the real problem here is that they aren't even answering the question as to why they changed their stance on making it public.

@PaulGit @YuanfenYang @signalapp Signal fixed their service in Iran, so I guess they will fix it in China too, likely through this advanced settings feature in the coming weeks.

@signalapp, Sending messages is slow using mobile but fast using Desktop App in Windows 10. I think there needs to be some optimization done for msgs to send. (Note: I have good Internet speed with low latency - So not Internet issue).

@signalapp The signal can no longer be used in China. The signal has been blocked in China. Please fix this problem

@BarisBalic @signalapp @telegram The tl;dr is that the encryption is not obviously broken in any way, at least that we know of, but it's so weird that nobody can really vouch for it. Signal has better reputation in cryptographic community.

@signalapp has officially stopped being usable on desktop. With about 5s delay between switching from chat to chat it's downright unusable for anything productive. To all who suffer from same issue, I suggest taking a look at scrcpy in combination with adb and developer tools.

@danbri @signalapp I got a new phone with a new number recently, did an iOS transfer from the old phone, and Signal worked fine keeping my contacts and history. It's still registered under my old phone number but I'm planning to keep it (via Twilio) so hopefully that won't be a problem...

@moliellama @signalapp @wevrare If someone already has your number, you might have worse privacy problems. Plus the more people that use signal, the less it matters that your contact can see you use Signal.

@signalapp So many glitches almost every other day there is some problem. I have had people reach out saying they got all messages hours later or messages missed all together. I compared the convo on ktj devices and entire messages did not go through which alters the context completely
