@signalapp LINE I don't want to use that app, but a lot of people use it, so I have no choice... Line has major safety issues.

@signalapp I’m uncomfortable after learning the US State department funds Singal, and about all of the supply-chain attacks on its framework. Would love to read an official blog post or video covering these issues.

@BooksBoring @signalapp I can screenshot anything you send so that’s already a problem. If Signal wants to only be a niche app that’s fine, but I get the impression, since they keep adding features like stickers and stories etc, that they would like to be a major player. They won’t be without backup.

@signalapp I had to stop using Signal because people who had signal but uninstalled it were NOT receiving my sms or mms. You guy should fix that!

1. @signalapp is an end-to-end encrypted messaging service. Think imessage but built like a fortress. Pros -end-to-end encrypted. -Can send media and files -Signal is open-source and run by a nonprofit. (no incentive to snoop)

@signalapp Got a new Android phone and now can't link my iPad. Get either a network error on my phone, or invalid response from service or update to latest version error on iPad. Deleted and reinstalled iPad app and it's up to date. Phone has network access.

@BooksBoring @signalapp You’re aware someone with Signal Desktop synced can in principle just pull all the messages right out? The problem is they can tout them back on the phone? So your privacy “people should lose their messages on their phone for security” ship has already sailed.

@derAlff_IoT @session_app @signalapp WhatsApp is e2ee tho. If you take a look you’ll realize that with Signal’s help they implemented the same encryption protocol that Signal uses. The only thing is that WhatsApp collects hella metadata, but they cannot read your messages

@MonetaryFrame @signalapp Moving to better environments can help also. Like me expatriating from Australia. It's only a little better here but I gained massive opportunity to work compared to back here. Australia government enforces extreme conformity and demands submission. I just couldn't do it.

@brokencypher_ @madamelula @signalapp Sometimes we've the same problem, it closes by itself. We've to restart our phones. Then everything is OK again until the next time. This intermittent problem comes once every month to two months. We use mainly Android OS. On Linux phones never had a problem.

@joshjob42 @signalapp It's a difference between a supported and intended workflow and one that you are forcing to work. I could also turn my car into a boat, doesn't mean it's going to be a good boat. The messaging service you desire already seems to exist - why try to change Signal into them?

@Seliene_ @signalapp No but the problem is, we can't set up any doodle art work bt I don't have any problem with that, but bcz of this mostly people don't stick it 4 long 4 theme reason, It should be balanced, n in many phones the msg don't gets delivered sometimes until they don't open Signal app.

@dalast1woke @HarpSilver @signalapp Its that line "its time for apple ti fix texting" no Google no its not. Its time for you to get your act together and in fairness they really are making a big effort but it's come VERY late in the game.

@joshjob42 @signalapp "You can not do this if you do not have access to your message history. Signal does not have a copy of your messages. " Seems like it already has feature parity for iOS and Android? I don't understand the issue?

@signalapp He @Signal, when are you gonna fix the problem with 4K screens? Forgets the window size and position after reboot or closing Signal. Enormous and Message area off bottom of screen. Been like this since last December. Mentioned it 6 times since. Used to work.

@madamelula @signalapp Well for the obvious reason. We all get the same software and if it was an issue with the app itself everyone would be complaining. So logically it's most likely something to troubleshoot on your end.

@bhcarpenter @signalapp Don't put anything in writing if you're unsure what app/tech to use. Even though we all hate phone calls, this is probably the safest bet (minus the obvious single-party/two-party recording consent issues, but that's unrelated). Note: No voicemails.

@ProtonPrivacy I wonder if you may consider merging with, buying or creating your own version of @signalapp. You both have great products which put privacy first and since Proton is building out it’s Privacy Ecosystem, having a high quality app like signal would help with that.

@signalapp Signal is great. Until you have a problem & need customer service help. @signalapp, emailed you so many times about restoring 3 years' worth of messages that disappeared as I tried to transfer account data from one iPad to another. Only nonsensical autobot responses received.

I need to wipe my iPhone and restore from a backup to try and fix a network issue, but on iOS @signalapp can only transfer message history from one device to another, so if I wipe and restore.. I lose all my message history.

(4) TODAY is a great time to start using only messaging services that support end to end encryption & *setting auto delete up* because if an "end" (i.e. your phone or someone else's) is intercepted before deletion, E2EE won't help much I recommend: @signalapp @WhatsApp @telegram
