  @PlatKlimGo @telegram @signalapp No, Signal did not have a data leak. It was Twilio, a service that provided phone numbers for users to sign up to Signal that had the leak. Signal was not breached of any data whatsoever.

  @signalapp @Mer_Edith Maybe they will get Signal back to building a private messaging service and not a shill app for cryptocurrency that benefits the developers? Happy to donate once you get back on track.

  @mer__edith @samuraiemily Why does @signalapp have a "Contact us" webform for users to get help with technical issues if no one bothers to reply?

  @backdoorcreep @mer__edith @signalapp No, Signal wasn’t hacked it was an external service company Signal uses for verification.

  @MABrownJr @lockheimer @signalapp The elitism from certain sets of iPhone users certainly does not help.

  ❤️ het gaat goedkomen! WEF gaat inpakken !!! (@nmnhuis) reported 24 minutes ago

  @signalapp @mer__edith Just an idea, how about if you guys would fix a way for us to communicate not via phone number but via a code, I for sure would want that and would pay for it just like people pay for the Threema app.

  @tveastman @signalapp It's for private messaging service Not anonymous

  @paravertudo @signalapp Thats mostly an Android problem. Check your battery saving options for the apps and make sure Android is not killing Signal in background. :)

  .@signalapp @mer__edith No, paying or this app will be a fine way to draw usage down so that it will ultimately be bought by AOL... if you know what I mean. You're going to have to think wider and understand how backwards is never forwards, and that customers/users know that.

  @signalapp Why is the app not working in Oman

  Benjamin Jones (@BenjaminJonesTw) reported 43 minutes ago

  Pretty disappointed with @signalapp message delays lately.. a lot of missed communication coming in sometimes 10s of minutes late.. is this a known issue?

  @blainsmith @bdowns328 @signalapp They are using a service, just respond "stop" and you'll unsubscribe. You will have to block the numbers. My Pixel 6 already flags these as spam before I even see them.

  If you use iMessage on your iPhone and are sick of those green bubbles, encourage your SMS/MMS only contacts to install @signalapp , its an amazing alternative, and handles "group texts" way better. MMS: Here's an 40mp photo we've cut down to geocities quality.... enough already

  Use Signal and you will never have to worry about your phone being tapped again. I don’t see the issue. @signalapp

  @signalapp @twilio Cybersecurity. Unfortunately one of least appreciated/underinvested tech areas. Would you drive a car without a steering wheel? With expanding threat surfaces and a vibrant global ransomware industry, more boards should acknowledge this as a critical corporate governance issue.

  @signalapp @mer__edith I am use Telegram and good speed server. Let forget about WhatsApp and Backup Cloud. I know Signal is very encrypt for MobileCoin. I still use Telegram TON (Telegram Open Network) pretty speed. I wish Signal fix the performance issue.

  @PuppeteerSock @signalapp @mer__edith If everything remains end-to-end encrypted and open source as it is now, there should be no problem.

  Hi @WhatsApp, Pakistan Government is allegedly able to record whatsapp converstaions, We would like to know if that is true? Is your app's security is compromised? If this issue is not addressed we are going to switch on @signalapp

  @signalapp transfer feature seems really flakey. first wifi direct was barely usable, had to forget wifi network. why use that if on same LAN? then transfer kept failing because out of storage on old phone, but no useful error message was provided, had to guess.

  @Eterno48849335 @signalapp @mer__edith Why? How does asking people to voluntarily donate pose a problem?
