#signalapp

2 posts1 participant0 posts today

My #signalapp is not running properly in the background, so I am not notified of new messages until I go into the app.

I have set it to unrestricted battery and allowed background network usage.

My impression is that it pauses after a while, and when I check the app manually it wakes up. Maybe some security setting.
I am on android 14.

Anyone with a good link to how to set up signal on android?

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

You can entice (is that the word?) them. 😉
You can change your profile picture on WhatsApp with this one 👇🏼

You can put this line in the Info section:
Send me a message on Signal: signal.org/install

You can message people something like: You wanna stick it to Zuck? Let's ditch WhatsApp and switch to Signal.

Here in Europa a lot of people are not amused with Meta for bending the knee.

I found a site in English with more info: umatechnology.org/how-to-move-

Some might be confused why using #Signalapp for discussing highly confidential national security topics is such a problem. Shouldn’t Signal be highly secure?

Signal protocol is secure, but the end user devices rarely are. The chat confidentiality is as weak as its weakest link. With Signal, you can never tell if the other party of a conversation is taking device security, hardening, and opsec seriously. This gets exponentially worse with larger groups, where each additional member adds a potential new weak spot.

Signal can be used for some things, but definitely not discussing highly confidential, secret, or top-secret information.

RE
#signalapp software has nothing to do with the current #trumpadministration Some of its members happen to use it. Just like, say, Microsoft Word

But they were are breaking the rules, all govt intel text, etc MUST BE saved. It seens from the #jeffreygoldberg #theatlantic article that they might of set the text to ⭕auto delete after a short time. that's not breaking the norm, that's breaking the law.
