@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

@cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp

@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
Mark Hissink Muller (@markhm) reported 13 minutes ago
Hi @signalapp. On iOS you ask for my recovery key as a reminder. This makes no sense to me. Either I still have it or I don't. If I don't have it anymore, your reminder will not help. What am I missing?
Pablo (@Pablo5484030375) reported 19 minutes ago
@NHpilled @signalapp Yes not working .
Candice (@candicekteo) reported 19 minutes ago
Currently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 20 minutes ago
@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

@meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?
Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported 27 minutes 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.

@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.

@signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help

i think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?
Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported 34 minutes ago
@NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
Steve Barnes (@realstevebarnes) reported 40 minutes ago
@camhigby @signalapp needs to take this channel down and block the comms in the interest of public safety.
NullCoiner (@NullCoinerETH) reported 40 minutes ago
.@signalapp down?
marcmore (@marcmore011) reported 41 minutes ago
@signalapp The problem with Signal is that it doesn't use any of the contacts... Unfortunately, this is impossible.

@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.

@signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

@camhigby @signalapp These people are violating the law. You should shut down this group chat so that they cannot coordinate to violate the law.
Ari (@arixanxim) reported 57 minutes ago
@signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!

@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.
