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?
-
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.

psymin (@psymin) reported@signalapp is down?
-
Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported@SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?
-
Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Adrian (@push_ip) reported@cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp
-
MotoMurphyADV (@MotoMurphyADV) reported@signalapp seems to be down right now.
-
ᜰ (@trikbot_) reported@signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?
-
thunder (@thunder2585) reported@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi
-
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.
-
Nicholas (@undercovergreek) reported@signalapp Customer service is lacking, I paid for a service and have not been able to get it resolved with @signalapp they have not responded to multiple attempts to contacted them. Updated logs, and have newest software but there system does not let me talk to a real person
-
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
-
🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported@TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content
-
croix (@taintcroix) reported@signalapp appears to be down!
-
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported@signalapp Great. Now can you fix the sign up issue??
-
Liberty NH 🦔⚡️🌲 (@NHpilled) reported@signalapp Is Signal down right now?
-
LianZaKim @Kim (@liankimpi) reported@signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login
-
KRYPTZINE GØÓÑ (@kryptzine) reported@monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
-
Nothingness (@TheEyelessOwl) reported@signalapp is the app down or something, things were fine for days now me messages take forever to go through, but even when they become two circles with a checkmark they never fill anymore and I get no responses???
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
-
Iroko OKAPI 🇫🇷🇪🇺☢️🇺🇦🧌🐍🎼 (@IrokoOkapi) reportedThe issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp
-
Maximus Curious (@StatsMaxer) reported@theonejvo @signalapp credential stuffing wins when scale exceeds patch speed. hundreds exposed in 24h means the cost to harden is now baked into real ops. signalapps free tier model inverts incentives. they won't fix until shutdown forces it.
-
sPiCoLI in Chapel Hill : cHrIStOPhEr (@spicoli_75) reportedAn organized insurrection is taking place on @signalapp DOJ must shut down that app. @AGPamBondi
-
Ari (@arixanxim) reported@signalapp give us closed captioning for video calls, this is a massive accessibility issue!
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Ben has opinions. (@RealAndersonBen) reported@chriskalos_xyz @signalapp They still have servers. They just don't store unencrypted messages or encryption keys on them. Also, they are Amazon's servers that are down. Everything that uses AWS is affected.
-
Pablo (@Pablo5484030375) reported@NHpilled @signalapp Yes not working .
-
_am___❤️ (@__am_________) reported@signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help
-
Not here, nor there! (@0to80Eventually) reported@signalapp Terrible time to associate your great app with Bill Gate's Microsoft.
-
Susu Kental Asin (@TemenkuDisunat) reported@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Social Engineering exists because USERS are the weakest point in security. Fix the users, fix yourself.
