  @signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.

  OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

  @signalapp Please fix the group bug. After I remove some accounts that have already been deactivated from the group, the group member count does not change and does not reflect the actual number of members.

  @signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.

  @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

  @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  @signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved

  Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported 23 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.

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

  Candy Corn (@thecandycancan1) reported 24 minutes ago

  @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

  Sa'id al Athari (@SaidAlAthari) reported 24 minutes ago

  @_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice

  Roy (@Roy_1465) reported 26 minutes ago

  @signalapp please fix it!

• 
  CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported 27 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?

  @alcipone @signalapp @NicoleGrajewski I'm curious what makes you "say hmm" about it? This story here is virtually identical to every other case of an alleged "Signal hack": it always boils down to user error or an unsafe modification of the code (as was the case with the previous government-related "Signal hack").

  Candice (@candicekteo) reported 35 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. 💀🛡

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

  @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

  @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 your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it

• 
  Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported 41 minutes ago

  @nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time

  @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

  anyone else have the issue when i get a @xai post from a @signalapp chat.. it NEVER opens the link INSIDE X but loads it up in a web browser on the iphone? frustrating!!! links for youtube work.. so why not X?

  Once again, aws is down, @signalapp too. It cannot be trusted.

  @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

  S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported 52 minutes ago

  Why 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.

  @The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.

  @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

  Hey @signalapp The Problem With Reply voice message and VoiceOver is Back. If You reply To a Message With Voice Message and VoiceOver is enabled you Don’t cud Play The Message

  Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported 57 minutes ago

  @zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!
