@TrialByTruth The source document says service providers are “obliged” but it’s not “mandatory” E2E encrypted messaging apps surely have nothing to worry about? Specially those built in the US, which they all pretty much are aka @signalapp

@vj_chidambaram @WhatsApp Honestly, I am shocked that both my family and my wife’s moved over to @signalapp as quickly as they did (been a couple of months now). Most of them don’t even have a tech background but I did help by telling them why it was important.

@signalapp with you and @Teleguard_ pushing out secure messaging apps it is being compromised by the lack of a secure keyboard. Can't the both of you, and other such companies, get together and design one? Or help Foss Openboard Keyboard to improve and make it more secure.

@signalapp Will there be functionality to set a default chat background color? Your current system of changing colors is incredibly inaccessible for people with vision issues. Manually changing every contacts chat background color seems like a very unnecessary way of going about.

@Experdiza @btwImAli @signalapp Huh 🤔 I wonder why? I have definitely been using it. Recently texted my IT guy and and he replied on signal. My only issue is I can’t seem to search in my string on my iPhone? No little dots in my right corner??

Still, it's not a crazy idea and could serve a niche. Currently, the @signalapp is on iOS and Android, but we've seen apps taken down in the past. Or we've seen encrypted apps like Whatsapp get its security threatened by its parent company. This would eliminate that possibility.

@signalapp Can't seem to send or receive any media over the last week. No images, gifs, anything. Can't even see the images in gallery to choose what to send. Also can't view gifs received on Signal. Is this a known issue for Android phones? Thanks.

@J_KubWI @signalapp It doesn't allow sms messages to be imported that's the problem, the initial setup doesn't allow it and once your are in the app there is no option to import. The only way to get it to work was go back to an earlier version, run setup then update.
