  @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

  @dedelaugesen @signalapp no that's the app trying to help you remember your pin through spaced repetition. if that gets annoying pretty sure you could turn it off in settings the recent phishing campaigns are different to what you mention

  @signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!

  @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.

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

  @manasiwibi @signalapp @grok why they still cant fix the issue?

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

  @JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.

  Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 28 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

  @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.

  @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

  Z (@N2K4A8) reported 31 minutes ago

  @enteio its great to see to companies being honest, i dont think they had any strong encryption in the first place but its sad that everything out there have some issues like slow speed, ui/ux bugs, no proper business model, etc except for @signalapp , but needs number to signup

• 
  AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported 31 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.

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

• 
  Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reported 40 minutes ago

  Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

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

• 
  Tim (@timderoode) reported 41 minutes ago

  @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?

  @vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem

  @signalapp @signalapp I tried creating account but it always failing pls I need a fix on that

• 
  🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported 51 minutes ago

  @TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content

• 
  Jacob | Five Eye Tea (@FiveEyeTea) reported 52 minutes ago

  @alcipone @signalapp @NicoleGrajewski I'm curious what makes you "say hmm" about it? This story here is virtually identical to every other case of an alleged "Signal hack": it always boils down to user error or an unsafe modification of the code (as was the case with the previous government-related "Signal hack").

  Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported 53 minutes ago

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

  T◎LA {313} (@TolaCrypt) reported 55 minutes ago

  first, messages aren't e2e encrypted. secondly, reduces the quality of pics/ videos being sent or uploaded on status. there’s a reason those contacts are not saved to my phone fgs, @WhatsApp fix up. a dumb update tbh, it’s high time to pivot to @signalapp

  @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

  信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reported 59 minutes ago

  My mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.

  Joey Terna Agor (@ternaagor) reported 1 hour ago

  @signalapp Why am I unable to complete the set up of Signal on my new Android OnePlus 15 phone? No promised verification code to my number ever comes. I deleted my Signal account on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, reinstalled Signal on my new phone all to no avail. Any help?

  @monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
