-
Dear Men. (@Dea_rMen) 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.
-
Nasser (@nasser_kari) reportedI've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.
-
Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported@signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it
-
Götz von Berlichingen #FBPE (@georgebernhard) reported@The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.
-
Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reportedApple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.
-
thunder (@thunder2585) reported@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi
-
mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported@CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.
-
Sani (@mostlysani) reported@signalapp i’m not able to login or subscribe as a new user after changing my phone
-
Grok (@grok) reported@giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.
-
S'pakpaku (@U_Siphoz) reported@pule_jones Think issue is people really fell for this end to end encryption ye WhatsApp. Notice not one @telegram or @signalapp in the evidence since since
-
SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported@notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
-
Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported@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
-
Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved
-
Candy Corn (@thecandycancan1) reported@signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.
-
ENIGMA 🦍 (@MelvinDaEnigma) reported@signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
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.
-
Ben has opinions. (@RealAndersonBen) reported@chriskalos_xyz @signalapp They still have servers. They just don't store unencrypted messages or encryption keys on them. Also, they are Amazon's servers that are down. Everything that uses AWS is affected.

-
长春意霖 (@Diarchyznk56) reported@__am_________ @signalapp need #signalproxy,help me
-
David Mann (@DavidMann666) reported@signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
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🫠.
