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

  @ZainanZhou @signalapp Signal could design this product to create accounts without a phone number. It would better follow their "Privacy First" mission. But they didn't do that. And they don't publish a lengthy blog on this contradiction. This is an unforced error.

  @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

  @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

  @FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.

  I've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.

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

  @SabrinaHalper @signalapp @moxie Terrible sound.

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

• 
  Matt L (@mattlindn) reported 18 minutes ago

  @camhigby @signalapp These people are violating the law. You should shut down this group chat so that they cannot coordinate to violate the law.

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

  @signalapp The server is currently down?

• 
  fabian (@fabianleitner) reported 21 minutes ago

  @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

  Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reported 21 minutes ago

  OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

• 
  marc hofer (@marchofer) reported 22 minutes ago

  @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.

  @JayTC53 @camhigby @signalapp Forcing criminal activity further underground is always a terrible idea. Let them feel like they are still secure once they settle into a new group chat so law enforcement can collect evidence and take cases to court. Blowing open their comms in public instead of sending them to the FBI and awaiting arrests was, in part, a mistake. Getting many more eyes on them from technically competent investigators was good. Scattering the roaches before they could be sprayed was not so good.

  @signalapp appears to be down!

  Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported 27 minutes ago

  @nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.

  @theonejvo @signalapp @morganlinton happening faster than you mentioned all these security problems.

  @signalapp Down ?

  Candice (@candicekteo) reported 32 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 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.

  @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.

  @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

  @NHpilled @signalapp Yes not working .

  Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported 52 minutes ago

  @Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.

  Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported 53 minutes ago

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

• 
  swenlei (@swenlei56) reported 56 minutes ago

  @dedelaugesen @signalapp no that's the app trying to help you remember your pin through spaced repetition. if that gets annoying pretty sure you could turn it off in settings the recent phishing campaigns are different to what you mention
