  • JPGComms JPGComms 🇺🇦 (@JPGComms) reported

    @ProtonPrivacy I wonder if you may consider merging with, buying or creating your own version of @signalapp. You both have great products which put privacy first and since Proton is building out it’s Privacy Ecosystem, having a high quality app like signal would help with that.

  • vocablarya_bir OTYOЯ (@vocablarya_bir) reported

    @signalapp LINE I don't want to use that app, but a lot of people use it, so I have no choice... Line has major safety issues.

  • Mattophobia Matt Collins (@Mattophobia) reported

    I need to wipe my iPhone and restore from a backup to try and fix a network issue, but on iOS @signalapp can only transfer message history from one device to another, so if I wipe and restore.. I lose all my message history.

  • taquitos 🌮🎉 Josh Liebowitz (@taquitos) reported

    @bhcarpenter @signalapp Don't put anything in writing if you're unsure what app/tech to use. Even though we all hate phone calls, this is probably the safest bet (minus the obvious single-party/two-party recording consent issues, but that's unrelated). Note: No voicemails.

  • fortunejuggle Nicole (@fortunejuggle) reported

    Hey @signalapp Received a Message that my support subscription is canceled because I didn't use Signal enough for the last periode. Now I can't subscribe again. Error processing Payment. It doesn't matter if I do not use Signal that much. I decided to support the product

  • isajorsergio Sajad Sergio Sadick (@isajorsergio) reported

    @SignalApp Help! I don't receive calls and message notifications until I open an app.

  • roygrubb Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported

    @signalapp He @Signal, when are you gonna fix the problem with 4K screens? Forgets the window size and position after reboot or closing Signal. Enormous and Message area off bottom of screen. Been like this since last December. Mentioned it 6 times since. Used to work.

  • PPDAC_LTD PPDAC; S-Corp; #MPN; Free #Azure 4 #MBE & #MWBE (@PPDAC_LTD) reported

    @signalapp I’m uncomfortable after learning the US State department funds Singal, and about all of the supply-chain attacks on its framework. Would love to read an official blog post or video covering these issues.

  • DirectTechYT Petar - DirectTech🇬🇧🇷🇸 (@DirectTechYT) reported

    @dalast1woke @HarpSilver @signalapp Its that line "its time for apple ti fix texting" no Google no its not. Its time for you to get your act together and in fairness they really are making a big effort but it's come VERY late in the game.

  • alvinbnet Alvin Bryan (@alvinbnet) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @signalapp?

  • cybriql0k1 l0k18🤟.*** (@cybriql0k1) reported

    @MonetaryFrame @signalapp Moving to better environments can help also. Like me expatriating from Australia. It's only a little better here but I gained massive opportunity to work compared to back here. Australia government enforces extreme conformity and demands submission. I just couldn't do it.

  • Exallium Alex Hart (@Exallium) reported

    @PatrickDattilio @signalapp Still requires a phone number for sign up, though you could always use a service like twilio or Google voice to get a phone number that isn't your normal day to day one, if it's a problem.

  • runrunriver Runrunriver (@runrunriver) reported

    @signalapp I had to stop using Signal because people who had signal but uninstalled it were NOT receiving my sms or mms. You guy should fix that!

  • SnakeTaleJohnny 𝕂𝕪𝕝𝕖 𝕁𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕤 (@SnakeTaleJohnny) reported

    hey @WhatsApp fix the damn link preview problem that happens every few weeks. @signalapp NEVER has this problem.

  • Diamond_AaronXG Diamond_AaronXG (@Diamond_AaronXG) reported

    @derAlff_IoT @session_app @signalapp WhatsApp is e2ee tho. If you take a look you’ll realize that with Signal’s help they implemented the same encryption protocol that Signal uses. The only thing is that WhatsApp collects hella metadata, but they cannot read your messages

  • banarasikumar Banzz (@banarasikumar) reported

    @Seliene_ @signalapp No but the problem is, we can't set up any doodle art work bt I don't have any problem with that, but bcz of this mostly people don't stick it 4 long 4 theme reason, It should be balanced, n in many phones the msg don't gets delivered sometimes until they don't open Signal app.

  • telugumeme telugumeme (@telugumeme) reported

    @SnazzyQ @MKBHD Using @signalapp solves all the problems no need for RCS. I am pretty sure google will lose interest in supporting after a while. Not to forget the number of apps they created and shutdown

  • CherylSkydancer Skydancer (@CherylSkydancer) reported

    @signalapp Signal is great. Until you have a problem & need customer service help. @signalapp, emailed you so many times about restoring 3 years' worth of messages that disappeared as I tried to transfer account data from one iPad to another. Only nonsensical autobot responses received.

  • LeakedMemos Leaked Tech Memos (@LeakedMemos) reported

    1. @signalapp is an end-to-end encrypted messaging service. Think imessage but built like a fortress. Pros -end-to-end encrypted. -Can send media and files -Signal is open-source and run by a nonprofit. (no incentive to snoop)

  • JPatel311 J. Patel (@JPatel311) reported

    @signalapp Got a new Android phone and now can't link my iPad. Get either a network error on my phone, or invalid response from service or update to latest version error on iPad. Deleted and reinstalled iPad app and it's up to date. Phone has network access.

  • Greg_A_ (((Greg A.))) 🇺🇦 (@Greg_A_) reported

    @ayemikey86 @motherboard Not all messaging services — had they used 1 that offers end-to-end encryption & doesn't keep a copy of the decryption key (like @signalapp), the messaging service wouldn't have had anything useful to hand over. (I think Meta's own WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption now, too.)

  • banarasikumar Banzz (@banarasikumar) reported

    @Seliene_ @signalapp Hmm but that was not the issue it was my elder sister (married) phone and I enabled all notifications removed battery optimisation but sometimes it doesn't work actually and same problem with many other models.

  • onkel_henrik henrik 🇵🇸 🏳️‍🌈 (@onkel_henrik) reported

    @signalapp app is crashing every time i open it, help

  • Grazouillis Reka (@Grazouillis) reported

    @signalapp Hello Signal, My app has been crashed instantly after opening since friday ago and again after reinstall + key change Henceforth I cannot send a debug log link to talk about it on your website. I sent a rapport to Google but... What can I do please? Thanks for ur help

  • isonulol sonu (@isonulol) reported

    @signalapp idk why but the desktop app is crashing sometimes. please help!!

  • toddwagg Todd (@toddwagg) reported

    Is @signalapp down right now or is it just me?

  • GlenlB99 KansasValues (@GlenlB99) reported

    @signalapp Signal closes 1 second after opening on Motorola Power G. Closed app. No change. Rebooted phone. No change. Help!

  • BooksBoring BoringBooks (@BooksBoring) reported

    @joshjob42 @signalapp "You can not do this if you do not have access to your message history. Signal does not have a copy of your messages. " Seems like it already has feature parity for iOS and Android? I don't understand the issue?

  • Klonick Kate Klonick (@Klonick) reported

    (4) TODAY is a great time to start using only messaging services that support end to end encryption & *setting auto delete up* because if an "end" (i.e. your phone or someone else's) is intercepted before deletion, E2EE won't help much I recommend: @signalapp @WhatsApp @telegram

  • derekmorr Derek Morr (@derekmorr) reported

    Meta is an awful company, but they were complying with a search warrant. The problem is they collect this data in the first place. Messaging services need to be designed to minimize data. You can't hand over data you don't have. @signalapp excels at this.
