-
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?
-
Michael 🚠🎿 (@tradem1c) reportedBest privacy service: @2FAS_com @signalapp @ProtonVPN What did I miss?
-
David Gobaud (@davidgobaud) reportedis AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird
-
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported@signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.
-
Rob Hamilton (@Rob1Ham) reported@octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing
-
@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.
-
iknowatchamacallit (@justichidi) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks If your child is seeing porn on your phone, fix your life. If your child is seeing porn on their device, you're failing your child.
-
Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported@Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.
-
Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported@agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now
-
JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported@carolecadwalla @signalapp Musk is a problem that needs to be dealt with entirely separately from protecting children from material our society has decided to bar them from. Musk and his like are a separate problem we MUST deal with anyhow. Using them as an excuse to avoid helping kids is absurd
-
TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity
-
megabyte0x.eth (@megabyte0x) reported@TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
cbigelow (@ckv1432) reported@WhatsApp I downloaded the app, created account, & created family group. I then got a message saying I am permanently banned for violating your TOS. I never even actually used it. I only signed up. Great customer service. @signalapp can you help a mom out?
-
Idea Catalogue (@idea_catalogue) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks for instance someone could mail you pics you don't want, also anonymously. but i don't call for the post office to censor everyone's mail. you can choose not to open the mail from unsolicited senders. or pay a service to filter your mail and not forward ones screened for ******
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
-
Polacken (@polacken5k) reported@CityofHats @signalapp I mean, only the latest version of Signal supports linking phones and Android tablets as clients, so the version is kind of obvious. And yes, I agree, this is not a security issue. It is just a sync bug.
-
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.
-
Недовольний твітер (@_vlad_che_) reportedWhen I want to transfer data from desktop (without a camera) to mobile @signalapp, I open the desktop QR , then I select "Transfer from other device" on mobile and get another QR. What next? Scan QR by QR? Maybe you have mental problems to create such a stupid flow.
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included
-
Sascha Dämgen 🧐 (@sascha_daemgen) reported@signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐
-
𝐌i𝐜h𝐚e𝐥 𝐈. A𝐫i𝐧z𝐞 (@smartgods042) reported@signalapp I’m having issue creating an acct, why?
-
@overbyte@gamepad.club (@overbyte) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
शाश्वोत ढुंगाना🇳🇵☭ (@ShaswotNepal) reported@signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

Alberto Nunez (@Alberto8793) reported@signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

Herr Doktor Haßdenteufel, nicht Frau Jackson (@DrHassdenteufel) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks I take all of them. You’re all terrible ******* parents and judges of what’s good for kids.

Andrew W 🥝 (@aw_nz) reported@0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.
