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

  @signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  @alcipone @signalapp @NicoleGrajewski I'm curious what makes you "say hmm" about it? This story here is virtually identical to every other case of an alleged "Signal hack": it always boils down to user error or an unsafe modification of the code (as was the case with the previous government-related "Signal hack").

  TIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)

  .@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people

  @signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash

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

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

  @signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.

  @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?

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

  Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reported 18 minutes ago

  Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

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

  Candice (@candicekteo) reported 20 minutes ago

  Currently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡

  @signalapp @Longtstanding Hegseth in trouble

  Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported 22 minutes ago

  @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

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

  @VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Stop giving strangers your login.

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

  @monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come

  Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reported 40 minutes ago

  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.

  @smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security

• 
  Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported 43 minutes ago

  @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

• 
  Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported 43 minutes ago

  @Gold_Phishy @signalapp Unfortunately registration lock is not on by default. Probably because people have a hard time remembering their PIN, and Signal doesn't want you writing it down

  Hello @signalapp what is update about ur privacy breach baby? What is issue of Iphone Signal Notification Data Disclosure??

  @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

  Stephen Gary (@missyNelso69913) reported 54 minutes ago

  @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.

  @naomibrockwell @signalapp Signal really is a problem fronting features. Even if your an experience computer user with some experience securing things, it’s often not obvious what to do or where to go.

  @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.
