    Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported

    @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.

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

    @Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran

    @signalapp Customer service is lacking, I paid for a service and have not been able to get it resolved with @signalapp they have not responded to multiple attempts to contacted them. Updated logs, and have newest software but there system does not let me talk to a real person

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

  • SAP127001

    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.

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

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

    @signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

    @meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?

  • arixanxim
    Ari (@arixanxim) reported

    @signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!

  • fulldecent
    William Entriken (@fulldecent) reported

    @ZainanZhou @signalapp Signal could design this product to create accounts without a phone number. It would better follow their "Privacy First" mission. But they didn't do that. And they don't publish a lengthy blog on this contradiction. This is an unforced error.

  • Dancinfoxy
    Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported

    @signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

    i think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?

  • morganlinton

    @TLDInvestors @signalapp Yup, sad to see but hopefully I can help some people avoid this fate

  • Toobydoo

    @naomibrockwell @signalapp Signal really is a problem fronting features. Even if your an experience computer user with some experience securing things, it’s often not obvious what to do or where to go.

  • fabianleitner
    fabian (@fabianleitner) reported

    @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

  • push_ip
    Adrian (@push_ip) reported

    @cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp

  • Titalus

    @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

    @signalapp is down 😭😪

  • TheEyelessOwl
    Nothingness (@TheEyelessOwl) reported

    @signalapp is the app down or something, things were fine for days now me messages take forever to go through, but even when they become two circles with a checkmark they never fill anymore and I get no responses???

  • SuperTestnet
    Super Testnet (@SuperTestnet) reported

    @lightcoin @signalapp @sms4sats Tried it. I paid for several phone numbers and at some point decided "I don't want to keep paying for a new phone number every time I want to sign up for a service." If they really care about your privacy maybe start by not asking us to dox ourselves in the first place

    @signalapp Having issues to reregister on #iPhone. Always shows 'something-went-wrong.-try - after - sometime" message. :(

    @Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

    @signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.
