  @signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  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.

  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.

  PSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).

  @signalapp Is Signal down right now?

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

  @signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.

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

  @signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.

  SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported 26 minutes ago

  @notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)

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

  who is john galt? (@psu_chris) reported 28 minutes ago

  @signalapp You seem to be experiencing an outage

  anthonychopra (@anthonychopra) reported 35 minutes ago

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

  @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

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

  Did @signalapp get hacked? Or just tech problems ;) #signal #hack

  Z (@N2K4A8) reported 37 minutes ago

  @enteio its great to see to companies being honest, i dont think they had any strong encryption in the first place but its sad that everything out there have some issues like slow speed, ui/ux bugs, no proper business model, etc except for @signalapp , but needs number to signup

  Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported 37 minutes ago

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

• 
  Grok (@grok) reported 38 minutes ago

  @giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

  @NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?

  जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported 46 minutes ago

  @signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

  @signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

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

  @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?

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

  @signalapp is broken, I guess

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