Mal zur Sicherheit gefragt: Wenn ich lokal den Chatverlauf einer #Signal-Gruppe löschen will, kann ich dann einfach den Chat aus der Signal-Startseite löschen? Die Gruppe wird dadurch nicht gelöscht? Und ich bekomme dann auch trotzdem folgende Mitteilungen?
Wow, es scheint wirklich niemand eine Antwort auf die Frage zu haben, wie man den Chatverlauf einer Gruppe in #Signal löscht, ohne die Gruppe zu löschen oder zu verlassen. (Einzeln löschen ist bei tausenden Mitteilungen keine Option!)
@nix thanks - so far I love the speed, offline functionality and detail of @organicmaps - I miss Google Street View and public transport integration. Signal not having SMS is a shame but not a big deal for me. App working well on iOS and fairly well on Mac desktop. #OrganicMaps#Signal#30dayfosschallenge
After a lot of gentle reminders, I finally managed to get my entire immediate family to start using #signal! Everyone really likes the features and improved Apple-Android compatibility. I can also rest easy knowing that our conversations will stay private by default.
We added support for custom nicknames and notes for anyone you’re chatting with on Signal, even if they aren’t in your system contacts. Whether you’re adding the missing letters in a lazy friend’s profile name, or a reminder about where you met, notes and nicknames provide a convenient and secure way to jot down additional details about your Signal Connections — and they’re end-to-end encrypted and protected by your Signal PIN so they...
Es curioso como cambian las cosas. Si bien en 2021 salía un documento, presuntamente del FBI, poniendo a #Telegram por encima de #Signal y #Threema en cuestión de privacidad porque la compañía siempre se niega a colaborar con las autoridades y porque por mucho que se teorice sobre sus debilidades no han llegado a hackearlo, lo que sí hackearon los rusos fueron smartphones específicos, probablemente con algun malware como Pegasus (o infiltrándose en chats grupales), para acceder a conversaciones.
Well, I have finally installed F-Droid on my Android mobile as I continue to move away from Big Tech. Most of the open source applications I'm using have an official version on the store! Signal seems to be the exception, so any thoughts on Element as a possible replacement please? Obviously, views on other alternatives just as welcome! #fdroid#bigtech#foss#opensource#signal#element#privacy#security
@ErikJonker Moving from whatsap to signal is a good step. Moving to Element (Matrix protocol) an even better one. Because:
Signal is still US-based so similarly conflicted wrt eu-us diclosure- an privacylaws. Element/Matrix is EU based.
Matrix network is distributed by design (like mastodon) and has fully open api for any third-party client (like mastodon) #element#matrix#signal#whatsapp
Signal is working on the ability to set nicknames and add notes to contacts! Notes and nicknames will only be visible to you and will be end-to-end encrypted.
This feature is currently available in Signal for Android v7.2, but it will likely come to other platforms soon. Please note that this feature is currently under active development, so its design and functionality are subject to change.
For several years I avoid #SMS like a plague because because most people have a habit to keep years of message history and I don't like this. And now they would keep them in cloud accounts by default??
So when someone would want to talk via text, I wouldn't respond until it would be in #Signal.
(Thank you, @signalapp for disappearing messages and phone number hiding!)
40 % of the infrastructure expenditure is burnt to send #SMS codes.
I was forced to receive an SMS from Signal more than once after the first time. The SMS arrived from a sender I had never heard about. Signal's subprocessors are not listed on https://signal.org/legal/#privacy-policy (which doesn't even acknowledge the existence of #GDPR).
Not sure when these were added, but I've noticed in the latest @signalapp beta that these handy but short tips on avoiding scams and alike in your inbox now exist. Good work to whoever had the idea :)
(Apologies if the media is in the wrong order lmao)
#Telegram is being temporarily blocked in Spain. Will this trigger an uptick in #Signal account registration?
"Spain's High Court has ordered the suspension of messaging app Telegram's services in the country after media companies complained it was allowing users to upload their content without permission"
Meta is adding phone home functionality to #WhatsApp so it can add an #AI chatbot. What could possibly go wrong?
Remember Cambridge Analytica. Stop using #Meta products. Just switch to @signalapp . Most people have done so already and are only forced to keep WhatsApp for the stragglers.
Bei ca.. Minute 36: zumindest das #BSI engagiert sich dafür, dass die gängigen #Messenger wie #Signal, #Threema und Co. untereinander verschlüsselt Nachrichten austauschen sollen.
Wer glaubt, dass - falls sie sich auf einen Standard einigen - diese dann der sicherste von allen sein wird?
