@PaulGit @YuanfenYang @signalapp Signal fixed their service in Iran, so I guess they will fix it in China too, likely through this advanced settings feature in the coming weeks.

@buchwasa @NadeshikoKagami @signalapp That something has been sent *and* who’s sent it to whom, also there is the issue of metadata but I don’t have enough knowledge on that subject. My point is you can’t put all your trust (or your info) in a single app.

@danbri @signalapp I got a new phone with a new number recently, did an iOS transfer from the old phone, and Signal worked fine keeping my contacts and history. It's still registered under my old phone number but I'm planning to keep it (via Twilio) so hopefully that won't be a problem...

@O2Co2Tr @signalapp If Signal have informed Apple of the bug Apple will probably fix it in the next iOS update.

@moliellama @signalapp @wevrare If someone already has your number, you might have worse privacy problems. Plus the more people that use signal, the less it matters that your contact can see you use Signal.

Hey @signalapp, when trying sending videos 2+ minutes long in a group chat, it doesn’t allow me, resulting in errors.

@signalapp hey Signal, how come every time I video chat a lag grows and the call becomes so laggy we have to restart? We don't have this issue with other apps.

@signalapp No doubt. I should trust sharing my bank name, account name and coordinates, right here, should not be an issue?

@signalapp @isabels_moment its useful because if you make a m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ error while typing, you can strikethrough and type again without deleting the message and leaving the person guessing what it was you deleted

@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp Yes it is, but it also means a publicly available code is open for scrutiny, improvements and patches. They have taken a stand on why they can't make the service self-hosted. In similar fashion they need to own this, instead of ignoring all questions.

@signalapp, Sending messages is slow using mobile but fast using Desktop App in Windows 10. I think there needs to be some optimization done for msgs to send. (Note: I have good Internet speed with low latency - So not Internet issue).

なにがし
(@natural_2718_ln) reported
@signalapp Starting signal, the lock of signal(using my fingerprint registered by my smartphone) sometimes precedes my smartphone's lock. Hence, sometimes I can't operate my smartphone. Which causes this trouble, signal app or my smartphone...?

@AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp It can't be verified entirely, but to an extent it can be since the build will be reproducible, and there will be inconsistencies. Thought the real problem here is that they aren't even answering the question as to why they changed their stance on making it public.
