Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Radha Khan (@RadhaKhn) reported@dubeyamitabh @signalapp hmm, that is everyone switches, problem is most won't, so stuck to same old!
-
Sakshi Mehta (@Sakshimehta7) reported@signalapp when we use signal call and along with we use Spotify then why we are not able to play and pause song with handsfrees plz check and solve this problem because in snapchat it is not creating this problem,only signal app is creating kindly improve
-
Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported@signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash
-
Not here, nor there! (@0to80Eventually) reported@signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.
-
hackerman.jpeg (@HackermanJpeg) reportedDid @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack
-
L (@obsidian98) reported@signalapp is broken, I guess
-
Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported@Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.
-
Russell Polo (@RussellPolo) reported@signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.
-
TechContent (@TechContentinfo) reported@signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.
-
S'pakpaku (@U_Siphoz) reported@pule_jones Think issue is people really fell for this end to end encryption ye WhatsApp. Notice not one @telegram or @signalapp in the evidence since since
-
Scare Crow (@Crowbar1910171) reported@signalapp is not working for them all
-
ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@tenohtoo) reported@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
-
Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported@signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it
-
sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso / Global Cyber Security (@CisoDiagonal) reported@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.
-
mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported@CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here
-
marcmore (@marcmore011) reported@signalapp The problem with Signal is that it doesn't use any of the contacts... Unfortunately, this is impossible.
-
Aftab Goreja (@Pas_de_quoi_) reported@FareedZakaria @mer__edith @signalapp AI game is just beginning. It will reach Nash’s equilibrium when its exploitation will hurt not just the masses but also the corporations. It could happen because people have no money to buy stuff, or there are drastic errors in algorithms (AI is approximation). But it will.
-
🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported@DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.
-
Boston Zcash 🛡️ (@BostonZcash) reported@mert @signalapp If you can't solve the problem of federation with as much metadata protection as Signal (this is the challenge), and have a solid plan to rapidly reach feature parity with as much vetting and audits as Signal, it's not worth it.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported@signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.
-
Bomboriver (@bomboriver) reported@smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security
-
Ben has opinions. (@RealAndersonBen) reported@chriskalos_xyz @signalapp They still have servers. They just don't store unencrypted messages or encryption keys on them. Also, they are Amazon's servers that are down. Everything that uses AWS is affected.

-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.
-
Eason Chai (@easonchaiii) reported@theonejvo @signalapp seems like a reoccurring issue with people getting into vibecoding
-
Iroko OKAPI 🇫🇷🇪🇺☢️🇺🇦🧌🐍🎼 (@IrokoOkapi) reportedThe issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp
-
🥷pirate🦜smith🏴☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported@callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
