    @signalapp signal view once on iOS is useless since it allows receipt to take screenshots. Fix it plz.

    Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported

    @signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.

    @signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.

    @signalapp you have a glitch. Your view once feature allows for a screenshot. Plz fix it.

    @JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.

    @signalapp Signal is not opening in Nigeria, even the verification code is not working

    @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

  • 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.

    @signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.

    Once again, aws is down, @signalapp too. It cannot be trusted.

    @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

  • swenlei56
    swenlei (@swenlei56) reported

    @dedelaugesen @signalapp no that's the app trying to help you remember your pin through spaced repetition. if that gets annoying pretty sure you could turn it off in settings the recent phishing campaigns are different to what you mention

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

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

    @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

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

    @signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

  • dalu_hey

    @signalapp Phone Video calls are broken on Android since the last update

    @signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

  • thewildkore
    Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reported

    Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

    @signalapp server down, unable to sign up and not even working on laptop , bad experience at start

    @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

    @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

  • by_inkriya
    जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported

    @signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.
