    @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.

    @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

    @signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.

    @privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds

    @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

    @carolecadwalla @signalapp likewise locking down childrens devices and web access is the job of parents

  • ternaagor
    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?

    @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

    Giving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.

    @signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.

    @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

    @signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

    @signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.

  • anubandhsutra
    Abhishek Puri (@anubandhsutra) reported

    @durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.

  • untzy
    UnTzY 🚶🏻 (@untzy) reported

    @signalapp I know it's not a thing, because you seem like normal people with morals. But it would be terrible if you happened to have a data breach that showed all the private chats our government is having.

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    @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)

    @signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this

  • jolieangel2323

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

    @signalapp @signalapp please keep pushing against government dystopia in the UK and EU. Please keep informing the public of harmful policy decisions from government like this. Please pull your services from any dystopian jurisdiction to help shed light on the issue Please do not capitulate

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

  • Durango4571
    Durango (@Durango4571) reported

    @signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.

  • TashiTushe
    pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported

    Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

  • palaashatri
    Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported

    @bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.

    @WhatsApp @signalapp @X amongst many others been shut down around us in the UK how is this ok that this is allowed we’re been run out by the one person that promised us the best and is given us hell ! On earth how is this ok ? There’s no humanity there is no clear leader to lead!

  • dietrichBonh
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported

    @signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

    @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

  • marchofer
    marc hofer (@marchofer) reported

    @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

    @chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?
