    Why you should really think about using mainstream messengers like @signalapp Stop linking your mob number to your metadata. No phone number, no problem; @session_app and @SimpleXChat don’t have these issues.

  • RealAndersonBen
    Ben has opinions. (@RealAndersonBen) reported

    @chriskalos_xyz @signalapp They still have servers. They just don't store unencrypted messages or encryption keys on them. Also, they are Amazon's servers that are down. Everything that uses AWS is affected.

    @signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.

    @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)_/¯

    @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

    @signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

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

    @signalapp These code nightmares are exactly what I might have a problem with, to every company. Hackers use more than computers to steal the codes and then make them unviable before usage. @Google A lot of code numbers went to me, but were not useable during the timeframe. They also tried to get past my brick my password trick. I'm thinking that the three enemies I have are a tad bit more than three, and there is one other one who throws valueable hardware into a single vat, just to cause pollution and degrade reality [hardware]. Their main goal was to make every single number code unuseable. Including auth timed numbers. That is all.

    @SabrinaHalper @signalapp @moxie Terrible sound.

  • tikDemonne
    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

  • darksaviortweet
    Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported

    @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.

  • 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?

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

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

    @__am_________ @signalapp need #signalproxy，help me

  • davidjnemeth
    David J. Nemeth 🇺🇸 (@davidjnemeth) reported

    @signalapp no one else having issues sending from the windows app? all my recent inbound messages come through, but sending just has a constant circle

  • timderoode
    Tim (@timderoode) reported

    @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?

  • WaqqasAhmmad
    Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported

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

  • Tree_0flife
    Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported

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

  • 1lemonaday

    @signalapp You seem to be experiencing an outage

  • alexkeydesign
    Alex Kyprianou (@alexkeydesign) reported

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

  • 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).

  • TallNupinks
    Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported

    @signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.

  • bdmurdock
    Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported

    @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

  • SantiagoPliego
    Santiago Pliego (@SantiagoPliego) reported

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

  • Elsalameen
    Fadi Elsalameen فادي السلامين ⚡️ (@Elsalameen) reported

    @signalapp signal view once on iOS is useless since it allows receipt to take screenshots. Fix it plz.

  • Sakshimehta7
    Sakshi Mehta (@Sakshimehta7) reported

    @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

  • Dancinfoxy

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

  • aw_nz
    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.

    @signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too

  • bdmurdock
    Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported

    @zentex @signalapp All security eventually comes down to some sort of secret. Passkeys, 2FA, etc. are great because they don't require you to share secrets like passwords do. They are nearly impossible to hack. But they still require some bit of knowledge that a social engineer can get from you
