  BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 6 minutes ago

  @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

• 
  Bogdan Popa 🇪🇺 (@BogdanMPopa) reported 7 minutes ago

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

  S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported 11 minutes ago

  @yrschrade @orithellama @signalapp You need more than that. It’s not the encryption that’s the problem with Signal, it’s the pre exposed mobile number and by extension home address

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

  @Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground

  @dietrichBonh @signalapp if it were actually being done right then yeah, but its not because they dont really care about that, if they did they would have listened to the many different companies and governments who told them it's unworkable and causes more security issues than it solves.

  @signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved

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

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Death sentence for ****** would help.

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Take the phone away from the kids if they’re not trustworthy. Problem solved.

  @signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.

  David Gobaud (@davidgobaud) reported 36 minutes ago

  is AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

• 
  SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported 37 minutes ago

  And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  Creka360 (@Batmanvader007) reported 39 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Why is this Signal's problem? But what Starmer proposed is not a solution. Why don't you come up with something since you care so much. Maybe put all under 18 in a closed environment and monitor their every move, might work

  Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported 42 minutes ago

  @bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful

  GG (@IamRedListed) reported 43 minutes ago

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Think for a bit. Age verification? Ok, no big problem, don’t like it, but acceptable. Now… how do you think you detect unsafe content ***? Tech magic? Smartphone witch? Every byte of your mobile phone must go to some server, get unencrypted and scanned. You fine with this?

  @signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this

• 
  AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported 45 minutes ago

  Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

  @signalapp Can you please fix the erratic behavior of Signal when registering with a +234 number? pleaseee

• 
  Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported 47 minutes ago

  @signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.

  CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported 51 minutes ago

  @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?

• 
  Bombardino Crocodillo (@io32kmd0c93j30m) reported 52 minutes ago

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

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported 52 minutes ago

  @signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

  @signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.

  Stephen Ballion (@mountainofspoon) reported 55 minutes ago

  @femalepencil Because it’s owned by @Meta which is a terrible company - try @signalapp

  AzadiAzadiAaazadi (@RaziehAskari) reported 56 minutes ago

  @signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

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

  #OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported 1 hour ago

  @Krev2323 @signalapp They got exemptions for travel too - every time we got cases down someone would bring a new case in. With proper infection control alpha would have stayed in the UK, delta in India & omicron in African countries (S. Africa sequences unlike its neighbours)

  @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing
