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

    @VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Stop giving strangers your login.

  • 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?

    @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

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

    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.

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

    @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.

    Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

    @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)

  • SAP127001
    S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported

    Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

    @TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content

    @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

    @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

    @signalapp That’s some terrible grammar right there.

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

  • simpin4pepe
    Nick Cairns (@simpin4pepe) reported

    @signalapp This is literally as old as dial up. I may or may not have done it way back when AOL was a pay per hour service. Send out 3000 messages all at once and have chat log turned on. Account would get nuked in 5 min, go to the log and there would be five more accounts.

    @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

  • AdriellePro

    @signalapp Know that where I'm headed is ALL YOUR FAULT! It all started with your name! So you might see me down today! And you didn't lift a finger to help me. But I'm not alone! You could be my worst enemy.

    @Shahinlooo Millions of Iranians cannot contact their families or receive emergency alerts.The Islamic Republic regime of the mullahs has shut down the internet inside Iran to prevent the voice of truth of the Iranian people from reaching the world. @Cloudflare @Signalapp

    @naomibrockwell @signalapp Signal really is a problem fronting features. Even if your an experience computer user with some experience securing things, it’s often not obvious what to do or where to go.

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

  • Tree_0flife

    @mer__edith @signalapp After repeated messages and emails to Signal support, over issues of Indonesian numbers unable to register for signal and receiving nothing but 🦗... Beginning to wonder if there isn't something more substantially sinister going on. What is being hidden and why? If its bug - say and give a fix it timeline. If it's soft censorship, say so (aka the Gov leaned on you). Otherwise it's beginning to sound suspicious.

    @signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.

  • swenlei56
    swenlei (@swenlei56) reported

    @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

    @SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
