    @dubeyamitabh @signalapp hmm, that is everyone switches, problem is most won't, so stuck to same old!

    @cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp

    Did @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

    @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

    @manasiwibi @signalapp Yes. It's still a problem. Hallo? Can you fix it signal?

    @manasiwibi @signalapp @grok why they still cant fix the issue?

    @signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

    Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

    Once again, aws is down, @signalapp too. It cannot be trusted.

  • markhm
    Mark Hissink Muller (@markhm) reported

    Hi @signalapp. On iOS you ask for my recovery key as a reminder. This makes no sense to me. Either I still have it or I don't. If I don't have it anymore, your reminder will not help. What am I missing?

  • StatsMaxer
    Maximus Curious (@StatsMaxer) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp credential stuffing wins when scale exceeds patch speed. hundreds exposed in 24h means the cost to harden is now baked into real ops. signalapps free tier model inverts incentives. they won't fix until shutdown forces it.

  • pierre_rud53846
    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

  • callebtc
    calle (@callebtc) reported

    PSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).

  • NolteIT
    Marcin Nolte 🇵🇱🇩🇪🇺🇸 (@NolteIT) reported

    @signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.

    Iroko OKAPI 🇫🇷🇪🇺☢️🇺🇦🧌🐍🎼 (@IrokoOkapi) reported

    The issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

  • Titalus
    Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported

    @signalapp Two factor authentication would fix this. Maybe even three factor.

  • Sakshimehta7

    @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

    @signalapp seems to be down right now.

    @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • thunder2585
    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

  • marchofer
    marc hofer (@marchofer) reported

    @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

    @signalapp is down! 😭

    @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

    @signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it

    @SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?

  • AndrewMohawk
    AndrewMohawk⁽ⁿᵘˡˡ⁾ (@AndrewMohawk) reported

    @theonejvo @signalapp What was the fix? Sounded like an exposed control plane gave everyone access which seems somewhat intended?

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

  • Dancinfoxy
    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

    @signalapp hey any known issues registering the app in Indonesia?
