Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reportedI use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported@signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.
-
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???
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?
-
josé alberto (@JAVM94) reportedHey @signalapp The Problem With Reply voice message and VoiceOver is Back. If You reply To a Message With Voice Message and VoiceOver is enabled you Don’t cud Play The Message
-
David J. Nemeth 🇺🇸 (@davidjnemeth) reported@signalapp no one else having issues sending from the windows app? all my recent inbound messages come through, but sending just has a constant circle
-
Beyond AI (@BeyondAI01) reported@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.
-
papi@bigpapi55. (@VenomC11612) reported@signalapp @signalapp I tried creating account but it always failing pls I need a fix on that
-
Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedOMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.
-
npalsensei (@npalsensei) reported@AeldorThalion @Viber @signalapp Welp. The problem is that most of my contacts are either on fb (which I don't have anymore) or Viber. I can't just randomly tell everyone to go into signal or anything, that's usually the main issue, not whether *I* can switch. I can. My network doesn't switch🫠.
-
KRYPTZINE GØÓÑ (@kryptzine) reported@monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
-
Sakshi Mehta (@Sakshimehta7) reported@signalapp when we use signal call and along with we use Spotify then why we are not able to play and pause song with handsfrees plz check and solve this problem because in snapchat it is not creating this problem,only signal app is creating kindly improve
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported@yrschrade @orithellama @signalapp You need more than that. It’s not the encryption that’s the problem with Signal, it’s the pre exposed mobile number and by extension home address
-
Adiguna Mahesa (@mahesa_adi12480) reported@manasiwibi @signalapp @grok why they still cant fix the issue?
-
Stephen Gary (@missyNelso69913) reported@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.
-
Bryan again.. (@BryanAgain) reported@signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.
-
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
-
Bomboriver (@bomboriver) reported@smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.
-
Notesnook (@notesnook) reported@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.
-
CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.
-
Jacob | Five Eye Tea (@FiveEyeTea) reported@FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.
-
that stupid pleiadeas Kelpalots // Asperger's 🌟 (@KelpalotsNet) reported@signalapp These code nightmares are exactly what I might have a problem with, to every company. Hackers use more than computers to steal the codes and then make them unviable before usage. @Google A lot of code numbers went to me, but were not useable during the timeframe. They also tried to get past my brick my password trick. I'm thinking that the three enemies I have are a tad bit more than three, and there is one other one who throws valueable hardware into a single vat, just to cause pollution and degrade reality [hardware]. Their main goal was to make every single number code unuseable. Including auth timed numbers. That is all.

Bombardino Crocodillo (@io32kmd0c93j30m) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?
-
Man with scandalous behavior (@giyasibrahim) reported@signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
