  @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

  @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

  @TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Why is this Signal's problem? But what Starmer proposed is not a solution. Why don't you come up with something since you care so much. Maybe put all under 18 in a closed environment and monitor their every move, might work

  Hello @signalapp what is update about ur privacy breach baby? What is issue of Iphone Signal Notification Data Disclosure??

  @signalapp All these policies make it seem like you are guilty until proven innocent. I have no problems if individual providers choose to scan for prohibited content, but when it's pushed by the government down to the implementation-level then it's control and mass-surveillance.

  @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 Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

  @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 Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)

  @signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.

  @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. 🔐

  @signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included

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

  Anyone had problems with @signalapp just freezing soon as app is open, sometimes if im quick it will let me open a chat but it wont let me send messages etc, cleared cache, reinstalled etc still same!

  Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

  @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

  Signal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
