  • TwentyTwoTwz TwentyTwoTwz🌐 (@TwentyTwoTwz) reported

    While @signalapp is a PROBABLY the best instant messaging app to date in terms of #encryption, #privacy & #security, there is still much improvements needed in w/ functionality. EX: Sometime the app crashes when uploading or sending videos, & the videos never send. Fix needed.

  • mindofadam Thus spake Adam (@mindofadam) reported

    @LunchBoxCan @signalapp Wait until birthday to get gift card and buy prepaid number service on internet and use that to connect with signal

  • JamesQHolden James Q. Holden (@JamesQHolden) reported

    @fourk_ @signalapp Well then, you are private on Facebook if you are lucky enough to have someone not read your messages at Facebook HQ. See the problem here?

  • muhamaushookar Muhammath Maushook (@muhamaushookar) reported

    Why Signal keeps firing fake notification without any notification? Anyone else having this problem? @signalapp

  • thealgoritmo Algo Ritmo (@thealgoritmo) reported

    @xdadevelopers You sure? I can text with friends, no problem..oh wait, I forgot I use @signalapp

  • JamilaMHammami Jamila Hammami جميلة (they.them) #AbolishBorders (@JamilaMHammami) reported

    @signalapp has been down since Wednesday. But it only seems that it’s *some* folks in Brooklyn. Came back online today for a minute just to crash again. Reminds me of the crashing that occurs at DA’s/ marches but for days. Can’t even submit big reports because the app crashes.

  • westsideblogger Herr Ungewiss (@westsideblogger) reported

    @signalapp On the iPhone, the number of unread messages is no longer displayed in the icon. This has been the case since the last update. Can you confirm this, or is it just me who has this error?

  • MisutaaUrufu 🏳️‍⚧️|ミスター・ウルフ|Misutā Urufu (@MisutaaUrufu) reported

    @Denise_Hyena @telegram @signalapp It is broken for new, however, that linking a non-Telegram & a Telegram contact together, in Contacts, breaks the telegram contact, causing Telegram to create a second contact.

  • unifiedh Daniel Hong 🏁☠️🚢 (@unifiedh) reported

    Web3 key management is just terrible holy crap, have NO ONE in crypto ever worked with modern PKI systems? Did anyone look into how @signalapp or @Apple iMessage does it, like ever? seems pretty straightforward to implement for me, seems like simply no one cares

  • PlanetJunkie Planet Junkie (@PlanetJunkie) reported

    @signalapp are your servers down??

  • dtvp1 Данијел Тодоровић (@dtvp1) reported

    @signalapp Just when I started monthly donation do Signal. Not much, but neither I have much. Hm... Is @Wire better solution? I just can't get people using it. They lack presence in people's heads. Or... I don't know what. Had the same problem with much superior Skype over that time Viber

  • ratracegrad ratracegrad.eth (@ratracegrad) reported

    @dabit3 @signalapp Did you help him out and explain how it works? Or did you just criticize somebody because he doesn't know web3?

  • beckbeat George Beck-Millan (@beckbeat) reported

    Are you looking for safe & secure email? - > @ProtonMail Are you looking for a message service that doesn't mine your data? -> @signalapp

  • royalaid Mark Aiken (@royalaid) reported

    @dabit3 @signalapp For a lot of NFT's this actually seems like a fair take BUT we have solutions right? IPFS should prevent URL rug pulls because it's content based URL. With crypto punks the whole thing is on chain so that solves the problem by being tiny. But for people just hosting them? 😬

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @NickEfthimiou @signalapp Can you be a little more specific about your "disappointment"? Or best of all, provide the solution to the spam problem that you would like best? Millions of users were spammed and now that #SignalApp shows a solution everyone is crying. Nothing will change about e2e messaging.🙄

  • oasisjosh oasisjosh  (@oasisjosh) reported

    @signalapp It’s frustrating that conversations keep scrolling up when you come back to them, and you have to hit the arrow to scroll to the end of the conversation again, please fix it.

  • EdwinFredd Edwin Fredy (@EdwinFredd) reported

    @TheHackersNews @signalapp It’s not good when the good guys can’t access the data they can use to potentially help society.

  • koehntopp Frank Köhntopp 💉💉 (@koehntopp) reported

    @maikzumstrull @signalapp Just did that successfully - what appears to be the problem...?

  • Steve_Kong S. M. (@Steve_Kong) reported

    @GiulioFranco2 @codetholdory @signalapp That's a question a legal scholar can answer best. Afaik, in most countries a service provider is not required to spy on their customers. However statistical correllation can/is already be done at the network level to a certain degree, e.g., by your ISP.

  • Ryanbolt15 Ryan bolt (@Ryanbolt15) reported

    @larsmb @telegram @signalapp My account got also hacked and the board service aren't doing anything about it,so I Met cyber_war_01 on Instagram he successfully recovered and retrieved my account, he's legit and Trusted

  • dabit3 nader dabit | sha.eth (@dabit3) reported

    @KyleStratis @signalapp 100%, agree with this point, I guess my main issue is with framing the entire argument because someone wrote some terrible smart contract code, it would be like me (a React person) claiming that Vue is a bad JS framework by pointing to someone's codebase who didn't know what

  • KyleStratis kylestratis.eth (send e-moneys) (@KyleStratis) reported

    @dabit3 @signalapp I don't interpret it as not knowing - they took advantage of a weakness in the ERC721 standard itself (although I wouldn't necessarily call it a weakness) to do something I thought was pretty neat. I find the Metamask linkage to OpenSea the real problem, their Chrome wallet needs

  • fourk_ sample (@fourk_) reported

    @JamesQHolden @signalapp Yes, the problem is that you're wrong.

  • ChinkeNathaniel BigfishNatty (@ChinkeNathaniel) reported

    @signalapp I have been trying to join signal for a while now but it’s not working out for me.

  • Metamasksup7 MetaMask Wallet Officail Support (@Metamasksup7) reported

    @KyleStratis @dabit3 @signalapp Hello there! Sorry for the inconvenience, kindly send us a direct message stating your issue, beware of impersonators posing as support, we never DM first🚨

  • _neelc Neel Chauhan (@_neelc) reported

    @lattera @signalapp The problem with messaging apps is... they're apps, not networks. Messaging apps don't want to peer with others because it creates a network effect. History repeats itself: AT&T didn't peer with independent telcos in the early 1900s. Or the network effect of Apple's iMessage.

  • mattaningram Mattan Ingram (@mattaningram) reported

    @signalapp I can't get Signal to open on my new M1 Pro MacBook Pro. I get a "Signal crashed unexpectedly" error every time even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Worked fine on my M1 Air.

  • lost_button Zeus (@lost_button) reported

    So the only option is to block the person. I don't want to block the person. I just don't want to accidentally send them a message when I, you know, "accidentally" start missing them? @signalapp, please fix this!

  • KyleStratis kylestratis.eth (send e-moneys) (@KyleStratis) reported

    @dabit3 @signalapp There was nothing toxic about what he said, if anything casting legitimate criticism of what the standard allows and Metamask's terrible NFT integration as 'toxic' is itself toxic. The average user isn't going to be aware of these pitfalls (and demonstrably is not), unbiased

  • aldira_1 aldira (@aldira_1) reported

    @tiwosatriatama @signalapp All options have been activated and the battery saving has been turned off and the problem is in the Signal program
