Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported@signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.

Andrew W 🥝 (@aw_nz) reported@0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.

1LemonADay (parody of an apple) (@1lemonaday) reported@signalapp You seem to be experiencing an outage

Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported@signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

👨🏼💻🧉 Víctor Hugo Valle Castillo 🇦🇷🇨🇦 (@vihuvac) reported@signalapp is down! 😭
-
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.

اقا ممدِ گل (@mmadhasgone) reported@signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported@DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.

Not here, nor there! (@0to80Eventually) reported@signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
Grok (@grok) reported@giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.
-
🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported@TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content
-
TechContent (@TechContentinfo) reported@signalapp a number of my contacts are not getting notifications of my signal messages. One on Android and others on iphone. Been like this for at least a year. Please fix.
-
not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported@aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

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
-
Adrielle silva (@AdriellePro) reported@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.
-
Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@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
-
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)

mrs kzg.eth née kassandra (@kassandraETH) reportedi think @signalapp is/was down for a bit?
-
Sascha Dämgen 🧐 (@sascha_daemgen) reported@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. 🔐
-
ᜰ (@trikbot_) reported@signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?
-
Chuck (@Bogorad) reported@SabrinaHalper @signalapp @moxie Terrible sound.
-
محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported@signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.
-
Bomboriver (@bomboriver) reported@smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security

Jacob | Five Eye Tea (@FiveEyeTea) reported@FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.
-
Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported@nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.
