    @mHaGqnOACyFm0h5 @signalapp Of course I know axolotl came from noise and add double ratchet if this is what you mean. But noise in LN solve a problem that signal implementation failed: groups. Because LN use HTLC on top of noise. This very powerful and solid. This is what I wanted to say

  • stivinet steiv (@stivinet) reported

    @signalapp Hey signal please help out India, plzzz

  • BerkBarbaros6 Berk Barbaros (@BerkBarbaros6) reported

    @signalapp In addition, when you sent a message by typing the number without saving into the contact list, the same problem arises. After accepting the chat, the number is automatically saved into the signal contact list and even though I delete the chat, nothing changed.

    .@signalapp why do you suck so bad? What’s the issue? Why do I always have trouble with messages sending and calls connecting?? Seriously considering going back to @telegram

  • austinc3301 Agustín.jl (@austinc3301) reported

    @berto_mancia @kanstin @signalapp I really sympathize with the issues your country is facing, but to compare yourself in the same level of actual authoritarian regimes (see: North Korea, or in a lesser degree China, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, or Syria) just lacks a lot perspective.

  • MairJulian Julian Mair (@MairJulian) reported

    @signalapp I’ve installed today’s version 5.10 on iPhone 12 Pro. Since then Signal keeps crashing when trying to open the app. I’ve sent some crash reports via Apple, hope this helps to solve the issue.

  • AlphaSin6 Tom Anderson (@AlphaSin6) reported

  • LetoDK LetoDK (@LetoDK) reported

    @signalapp This is still a big wish for me 🙏 also, the second I plug my charging cable into my phone, Signal starts taking backup, which slows down my phone a lot. Maybe make it wait until the phone is inactive?

    @signalapp Said yes, and numbers are not anymore in the signal list which is accessed through clicking the pen icon. I also tried these steps in an android one, the same problem exists, and I can circumvent it with the same method. This problem or bug is especially important since

    @signalapp Hey Signal. I faced a problem in Signal and submitted it two times via the app. I got no response. When I deleted somebody from my contacts, their number still seems in the contact list within Signal app. I could not find a way to delete those numbers.

    @signalapp why i can't restore my backed up database? It just says it will restore but it didn't. Please look into this issue

  • HakemonMike Hakemon Mike (@HakemonMike) reported

    @signalapp Hey, is there a bug in the Windows client? Sound only works 10% of the time when video calling people. Sound devices are properly setup and do work, but neither of us hear each other. Same issue on other computers as well, whereas Messenger and Discord work fine.

  • mikiiyamada ♡miki♡ (@mikiiyamada) reported

    @signalapp just figured out that seems only Sony mobiles experiencing the issue of very low volume incoming call ringtone 🤔 cos Samsung works totally normal (speaking of same OS)

    @berto_mancia @kanstin @signalapp I really sympathize with the issues your country is facing, but to compare yourself in the same level of actual authoritarian regimes (see: North Korea, or in a lesser degree China, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, or Syria) just lacks perspectiva.

  • Anvay13 Anvay (@Anvay13) reported

    Hey @signalapp please begin an E2E encrypted email service; hope that is on your roadmap.

  • MeganFitch6 Megan Fitch (@MeganFitch6) reported

    They’re just #metadata. “They know you spoke with an HIV testing service, then your doctor, then your health insurance company in the same hour. But they don’t know what was discussed.” Leave #Whatsapp. Use @signalapp.

    @signalapp my partner can get my signal messages but I cannot receive theirs. We both are fully updated. Have restarted our phones. Completely reset the conversation and security verification. The problem persists. What gives?

  • jeliibonnnnnnn bugs (@jeliibonnnnnnn) reported

    @signalapp @jack Twitter has recently hacked its users and redirected these different users to hackers when they were asked for help, and they started to make money by returning accounts valued at $ 100-300. Be careful, everyone. Unfortunately, the ovens have broken up. @Twitter
