-
هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported@signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.
-
Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported@nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.
-
Manfred @tschisass.bsky.social 📯 💚 🌻 (@tschisass) reported.@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people
-
Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported@Gold_Phishy @signalapp Unfortunately registration lock is not on by default. Probably because people have a hard time remembering their PIN, and Signal doesn't want you writing it down
-
Bomboriver (@bomboriver) reported@smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
SheLiveth (@SheLiveth) reported@signalapp @Longtstanding Hegseth in trouble
-
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.
-
who is john galt? (@psu_chris) reportedanyone else have the issue when i get a @xai post from a @signalapp chat.. it NEVER opens the link INSIDE X but loads it up in a web browser on the iphone? frustrating!!! links for youtube work.. so why not X?
-
Marcin Nolte 🇵🇱🇩🇪🇺🇸 (@NolteIT) reported@signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.
-
mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported@CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here
-
AzadiAzadiAaazadi (@RaziehAskari) reported@signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026
-
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.
-
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.
-
CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.
-
David Mann (@DavidMann666) reported@signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...
-
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.
-
Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported@signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it
-
Ari (@arixanxim) reported@signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!
-
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.
-
Russell Polo (@RussellPolo) reported@signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.
-
Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reportedI use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

Candice (@candicekteo) reportedCurrently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡
-
Chris Harger (@mastasnake176) reported@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Stop giving strangers your login.
-
jonf3n (@jonf3n) reported@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?
-
L (@obsidian98) reported@signalapp is broken, I guess
-
Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported@signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.
-
Sakshi Mehta (@Sakshimehta7) reported@signalapp when we use signal call and along with we use Spotify then why we are not able to play and pause song with handsfrees plz check and solve this problem because in snapchat it is not creating this problem,only signal app is creating kindly improve
