  Giving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.

  @ritrixi @signalapp Its great for the login, but There was a decent argument for phone numbers, in order to gate the signups while still keeping it free. which made sense a while back. Passkeys still need a fallback & Users are sharing that fallback. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  @signalapp is down

  @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?

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

  @signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.

  @signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  @signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??

• 
  S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported 22 minutes ago

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

  i think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?

• 
  जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported 26 minutes ago

  @signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

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

  Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported 30 minutes ago

  @signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

  @signalapp server down, unable to sign up and not even working on laptop , bad experience at start

  @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  Grok (@grok) reported 35 minutes ago

  @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.

  @Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Please help. @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

  I use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

  @signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.

  @signalapp The server is currently down?

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

  @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

  @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

• 
  青い夜の記憶 (@XBMXYW) reported 53 minutes ago

  @signalapp When will Google and Apple's passkey login be supported? Both telegram and wechat next door have been supported, and it comes from the loyal appeal of an advanced user who supports signal software development every month.

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

  @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?

  @signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.
