  CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported 3 minutes ago

  @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

•

  @signalapp The server is currently down?

•

  @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.

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

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

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

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

• 
  Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 26 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

• 
  Santiago Pliego (@SantiagoPliego) reported 26 minutes ago

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

  @signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?

  @SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?

  Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported 31 minutes ago

  ✅ @Apple has rolled out a software fix to address a flaw that stored notifications marked for deletion on the device. This vulnerability allowed the @FBI to read deleted messages in @signalapp. The update comes weeks after it was revealed that the agency managed to forensically extract copies of incoming #Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone in connection with an attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center facility. This was possible even after the app had been deleted, by exploiting the fact that copies of message content were stored in the device’s push notification database. Signal’s developers thanked Apple for its “quick action and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue.”

  @signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.

  @signalapp Know that where I'm headed is ALL YOUR FAULT! It all started with your name! So you might see me down today! And you didn't lift a finger to help me. But I'm not alone! You could be my worst enemy.

  @signalapp Unable create new account help me.

  @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

• 
  ast_pap (@mag_restlin) reported 36 minutes ago

  @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

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

  @signalapp You seem to be experiencing an outage

• 
  Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported 43 minutes ago

  @bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

  @signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  @signalapp Phone Video calls are broken on Android since the last update

•

  Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

  @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

  @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

  Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

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

  @0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.
