@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp Yes it is, but it also means a publicly available code is open for scrutiny, improvements and patches. They have taken a stand on why they can't make the service self-hosted. In similar fashion they need to own this, instead of ignoring all questions.

@danbri @signalapp I got a new phone with a new number recently, did an iOS transfer from the old phone, and Signal worked fine keeping my contacts and history. It's still registered under my old phone number but I'm planning to keep it (via Twilio) so hopefully that won't be a problem...

@signalapp has officially stopped being usable on desktop. With about 5s delay between switching from chat to chat it's downright unusable for anything productive. To all who suffer from same issue, I suggest taking a look at scrcpy in combination with adb and developer tools.

@BarisBalic @signalapp @telegram The tl;dr is that the encryption is not obviously broken in any way, at least that we know of, but it's so weird that nobody can really vouch for it. Signal has better reputation in cryptographic community.

@O2Co2Tr @signalapp If Signal have informed Apple of the bug Apple will probably fix it in the next iOS update.

@mattwoodget @whatsabschalten @signalapp That would be strange...The first authorisation and personal key exchange is done via a signal server, but after that signal uses direct p2p communication between known peers. Could be that the users provider is blocking p2p traffic, to test this use a vpn service like nordvpn

@pankarlox_ @signalapp Thank you! I tried checking the things mentioned but I'm still having the same issue. App is up to date, tried restarting device etc. But still no sent/received messages

@NP_tokumei @signalapp One step at a time, raising the barrier. I mean we are in the process to make sni less of a problem with encrypted client hellos later.

@signalapp So many glitches almost every other day there is some problem. I have had people reach out saying they got all messages hours later or messages missed all together. I compared the convo on ktj devices and entire messages did not go through which alters the context completely

@Mrks99 @otsolax @signalapp This isn't an actual backdoor, this is an error in security. The linked articles talk about how the key was found in a file in the shared cache on the device... that doesn't make it a backdoor, that's how security keys are stored for chat apps, it just so happens

@otsolax @signalapp This issue is not new. As long as I got your number, I can send you a message on signal, just as I could send you a text. That’s not signal’s fault

(@realwillkenzie) reported
@Mrks99 @otsolax @signalapp Signal did it poorly. Your article you listed has one source, which has this information. Also, the source your linked article used says nothing about a backdoor, but rather the encryption being "broken" (but not really) The source says if you encrypt the android phone, solved

@phoenixellex @signalapp I remember a similar problem I struggled with a long time ago and at the time I dealt with it more or less like this

(@apjyotirmay) reported
@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp It can't be verified entirely, but to an extent it can be since the build will be reproducible, and there will be inconsistencies. Thought the real problem here is that they aren't even answering the question as to why they changed their stance on making it public.

@signalapp, Sending messages is slow using mobile but fast using Desktop App in Windows 10. I think there needs to be some optimization done for msgs to send. (Note: I have good Internet speed with low latency - So not Internet issue).
