@dysinger @signalapp Supposedly there is an encrypted sender, and they dump the log asap. And at the current state seems pretty solid. My worry is what pressures may be applied. (legal or otherwise) Big Q: is there a proto that completely blinds S->R association from the service?

Hey @signalapp please fix listening to voice memos on iPhone! When listening to a voice memo holding the phone to my ear it stops playing the sound after every voice memo.. UI shows it plays the memo, but no sound. Need to exit conversation or exit app and start again. Huge PITA.

@lattera @signalapp I had to 🔒 signal in memory (in task manager), turn off power management for signal, enable automatic startup of signal to resolve the issue.

@ssunderaswara @signalapp ha ha! The problem is that many of my international partners do not have Signal. And when they want to forward some important videos, they still struggle. Reaching me is never a problem, but it's just the ease for them. But, yes, still thinking :)

@ChasTaylor @signalapp There seems to be an apex with social apps where when "everyone and their mam" just uses it, and that becomes the reason to continue using the service. WhatsApp groups absolutely tether their users to the app.

@signalapp iOS app crashes upon startup after less than a second. How can I fix this without reinstalling (this losing my messages)? Cheers

@OnosumeKatsudou @theshillito @signalapp It's not an SMS app though? It goes over the internet, it doesn't use the phone network. The issue is that as far as I could tell it ties one name to one phone number. As someone who goes by different names in different contexts, that wasn't acceptable.

If you have to communicate with persons in Afghanistan, @signalapp is currently probably the most widely used secure messaging service. If you don't have to, bear in mind your communication could put people at risk.

@xabean @signalapp I hate to ask, but - have you opened a ticket with @Signalapp? I had a problem a couple years ago after one of their upgrades, and they not only figured out the issue, they gave me a custom build to fix it so I didn't have to wait for the fix to come in the next GA release!

Whatever happened to my personal image and online social media references were attacks on my account. If you cannot contact me on @signalapp I am not safe and need help.

.@MojaveFoneBooth @signalapp IRC is down (has been for a week or so) due to a change on Signal's side requiring UUID to send now which our current library that we're using doesn't support. As soon as it's updated we'll be back. @WhatsApp can be used as an alternative.
