    @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

    Creka360 (@Batmanvader007) reported

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Why is this Signal's problem? But what Starmer proposed is not a solution. Why don't you come up with something since you care so much. Maybe put all under 18 in a closed environment and monitor their every move, might work

  • deuslexic
    Deus (@deuslexic) reported

    Signal 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?

  • AdamArmfield
    Adam Armfield @adamarmfield@mastodon.green (@AdamArmfield) reported

    @carolecadwalla @signalapp likewise locking down childrens devices and web access is the job of parents

    @signalapp Can you please fix the erratic behavior of Signal when registering with a +234 number? pleaseee

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

    @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @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).

  • JohnAsser65014

    @topicswithatee @signalapp Help the parents have and use tools, don't design clunky sector wide failures.

    @femalepencil Because it’s owned by @Meta which is a terrible company - try @signalapp

  • craig100
    Craig Stevens (@craig100) reported

    @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.

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

  • spamfighter666
    Spamfighter (@spamfighter666) reported

    @privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization

  • PaulSmithDM
    Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported

    @bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful

  • erikvallart
    Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.

  • TashiTushe
    pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported

    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

  • bradbury2010
    Ian Bradbury (@bradbury2010) reported

    @PaulSmithDM @signalapp I thought "crap parents are so terrified of" might have been a clue that I agree with you completely. The missing tone of voice makes it harder though. I regard this "ooh the kiddies" as utterly despicable. The problem now is to find a party that won't do it.

  • RaziehAskari
    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

    @signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login

    @signalapp i’m not able to login or subscribe as a new user after changing my phone

  • pierre_rud53846
    Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported

    @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

  • privacylawyer
    David T.S. Fraser (@privacylawyer) reported

    @spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.

  • timderoode
    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @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?

  • dietrichBonh
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported

    @signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

  • Ammir
    AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported

    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.

  • MohsenRafeq
     محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported

    @signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.

  • OccupyNN
    #OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported

    @Krev2323 @signalapp They got exemptions for travel too - every time we got cases down someone would bring a new case in. With proper infection control alpha would have stayed in the UK, delta in India & omicron in African countries (S. Africa sequences unlike its neighbours)

  • mmadhasgone
    اقا ممدِ گل (@mmadhasgone) reported

    @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

    .@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people

    Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported

    @signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.
