-
Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported@Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.

sam (@Samortelle) reported@signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reportedMy mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.
-
npalsensei (@npalsensei) reported@AeldorThalion @Viber @signalapp Welp. The problem is that most of my contacts are either on fb (which I don't have anymore) or Viber. I can't just randomly tell everyone to go into signal or anything, that's usually the main issue, not whether *I* can switch. I can. My network doesn't switch🫠.

Manfred @tschisass.bsky.social 📯 💚 🌻 (@tschisass) reported.@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people
-
Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported@TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported@signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
-
Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedOMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@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.

Nemesis (@lov24751) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep
-
@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

iknowatchamacallit (@justichidi) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks If your child is seeing porn on your phone, fix your life. If your child is seeing porn on their device, you're failing your child.
-
Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported@KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.
-
AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reportedFirebase 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.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@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.
-
Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reportedSignal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it
-
Joey Terna Agor (@ternaagor) reported@signalapp Why am I unable to complete the set up of Signal on my new Android OnePlus 15 phone? No promised verification code to my number ever comes. I deleted my Signal account on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, reinstalled Signal on my new phone all to no avail. Any help?

MeanHash ₿ ✪ (@MeanHash) reportedSo @signalapp what the play here? Can't bow down to this rule.
-
🥷pirate🦜smith🏴☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported@callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal
-
David Gobaud (@davidgobaud) reportedis AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird
-
Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported@signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it
-
alienznbotz.nft (@alienznbotz) reported@signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.

Mark12-17 ✝️🇮🇱 🇺🇸 (@Mark1217000) reported@signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages

nisten🇨🇦e/acc (@nisten) reported@privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds

Tee Time (@topicswithatee) reported@signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2
