@signalapp something is going on with your audio messages. They get locked and cannot be sent. You need to force close the app to continue. This happens on iPhones, not just me. Are you aware of this issue? Thanks

@CryptoTweetie @signalapp @session_app To be fair, Signal UX is super smooth, while Session still has all these random glitches and some don't make me feel very comfortable (e.g., disappearing messages not working reliably) ... Also, how Sybil resistant is it where token prices are now?

@Ro__183 @signalapp And the fact that there is almost zero media coverage on Signal doesn't help the cause

@signalapp well it's happened. My signal contact list just dropped from 20+ to 4. This is not how you help make secure messaging. What an own goal.

@Ro__183 @signalapp If only one could use Signal for cross-app communication (one user uses Signal and the other WhatsApp). That would solve the problem.

@encorelautre @mer__edith @signalapp Each and every non-niche, non-dark web service provider will always comply with lawful data requests, I understand your tweet as belief that they will just refuse regulatory compliance? The issue is to not have much data in the first place and to not market otherwise if you do

Just rephrased most of @signalapp 's terms of service for something I'm building, coz I like their approach to privacy and security...and most importantly, I'm no lawyer 😎

@Ro__183 @signalapp Go off Whatsapp for a day. Announce that you are on Signal, when any of your contact joins signal block them on Whatsapp. It will help you build your contact list and your frineds won't uninstall the app because they need to reach you.

@123dollarbill @signalapp Signal killed its SMS service to people without Signal App on their phone. Now when I get incoming texts from others, I can't reply and have to use another application to do so... this is something I am not going to do, as I don't play on my phone all day like most people.

@aginnt @signalapp Illusions that encryption is safe for privacy. They can unencrypt, capture via backdoors etc. They can hack remotely into phones - Israeli tech co sells that service.

@sovereignbrah @signalapp The problem with signal is that it also sends normal sms so tucker could have sent a normal sms without knowing it and obviously that's not secure. Signal should remove sms functionality completely.

@WhatsApp @signalapp @google_voice. Why are you #Blocking_Google_Voice_Numbers? It's the only number I have. I have no problem with #Signal_app and other #messaging_Apps. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still me
(@Saqqara) reported
@filipebatt @mer__edith @signalapp It's not an issue for me, I can run a vpn, spoof location etc but the people I've encouraged to use it won't when WhatsApp is available we're not spies just people using an app and if signal block at device level that would make it even harder.

@signalapp why can't I fully delete someone from my contacts list? This seems like a fairly basic, and useful feature. Looking in the forums and reported issues, this just seems to be ignored.

@sovereignbrah @signalapp i'm just surprised that tucker isn't using intermediaries and using tails os. that would help alleviate a lot of snooping from agencies right there. obviously, once signal gets to intended party, it's then out in the open.

(@carterforva) reported
With every piece of software, there is a trade-off between security and usability. @SignalApp used to hit the balance just right on Android, where you could use it for encrypted messages and SMS, and it would tell you which it was. They ended that feature today. Terrible move.

@signalapp Forget about other features like Full Size File sharing (Document Mode) & File sharing File size limit is mere 100MB, in this era of 5G. No poll option for groups. I've no problem with not having the features mentioned above. But not everyone is like me.

@signalapp been having issue with app in terms of connecting to calls and connecting to signal server.

(@Saqqara) reported
@filipebatt @mer__edith @signalapp They're not technically providing a service now, it's an app you download and the servers could be anywhere surely. The big problem here is I keep asking and they're not saying, I keep getting theories from other people when I need something concrete from them.

@sovereignbrah @signalapp They have always been watching. Now that they are switching to A.I. controlling everything, and yes that is a thing, it is not a conspiracy theory, look it up. We are getting a real SKYNET. We are in real trouble.

Filipe
(@filipebatt) reported
@Saqqara @mer__edith @signalapp They’ll ‘officially’ withdraw from the UK market, while giving instructions on how to circumvent that. That’s my takeaway from the article anyway. It’s a way to protect themselves legally, since they won’t technically be providing the service anymore

@signalapp Can you please fix the Windows app File Edit bar at the top of the Signal application? It's smaller than regular apps, and VERY hard to move around. This is low-end. Have a millennial address please and set back to big boy style. Thank you.

@miningmark48 @signalapp Yeah I understand why they dropped it. I imagine 95% of their support calls were from people who were losing messages. Because the UX is ******* terrible for contacts who don't use Signal, or have signal installed but don't use it as their default SMS app.
