-
Ari (@arixanxim) reported@signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!
-
Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported@signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it
-
Deus (@deuslexic) reportedSignal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?
-
tom (@by6nes) reportedAnyone had problems with @signalapp just freezing soon as app is open, sometimes if im quick it will let me open a chat but it wont let me send messages etc, cleared cache, reinstalled etc still same!
-
Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved
-
LianZaKim @Kim (@liankimpi) reported@signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login
-
Jess (@theweb3jess) reported@sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reportedWhy you should really think about using mainstream messengers like @signalapp Stop linking your mob number to your metadata. No phone number, no problem; @session_app and @SimpleXChat don’t have these issues.
-
Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
AzadiAzadiAaazadi (@RaziehAskari) reported@signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

PiX (@pa1nark) reported@akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

Alberto Nunez (@Alberto8793) reported@signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

cookiesvodka (@_cookiesvodka) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Safeguard the women and children by mass deporting migrants. Islam is the problem
-
信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reportedMy 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.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@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.
-
Jay Mutzafi (@JayMutzafi) reported@signalapp why is Face ID so slow only on signal? Whyyyy? I beg of you to fix it. It’s death by a thousand unlocks. It’s a tiny torture that slowly sends me into madness each day. Please of the love of all that’s secure and private, fix it.
-
Durango (@Durango4571) reported@signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.
-
Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported@bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.
-
Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported@Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.
-
TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported@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
-
Z (@N2K4A8) reported@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
-
SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported@notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)
-
DarthTrader (@DarthTraderzzz) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Death sentence for ****** would help.
-
Mark Hissink Muller (@markhm) reportedHi @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?

Sebastian (@seb_mc2) reported@eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.
