So when my friends use It pulls up names so you can select who you are writing to and inserts the name you select into the text without type out my name…. But I suspect this is them long-term way of selling contact information. If that’s not the case They will read this comment and fix the problem. There’s no reason they need access to all of my contacts, they want that so they can gather the information and eventually sell it or use it for marketing. On the other hand they do everything they can to try to make you add them to have access to contacts. My friends and I got this to be we hope to be more secure, and it may in fact be that. Once I get all of my contacts to migrate to a more secure app, I’ll be uninstalling Signal, as it doesn't alert me any more anyway. Though no communication service is bullet proof, adding an additional layer of script to monetize Signal, (in my opinion) opens up a serious security breach that will eventually be exploited by hackers. That’s now going to change as word gets out that a backdoor for advertising has been installed in Signal’s app. I’m only here as a means to communicate with other hi level parties who feel safe using this app. Third party advertising has now become a security concern.
SIGNAL MESSENGER SECURITY FOR FREE
What do we expect for Free anyway? Obviously Signal’s original Mission Statement has changed. Obviously the developers of Signal had long term plans to monetize their once highly secure communication service? Soon, Signal will shut down all users that don’t update. This now opens up a backdoor for hackers.
SIGNAL MESSENGER SECURITY FULL
Yes, I allow full permissions for Signal.Īdditionally, I came here to update, but I dare not as Signal now allows third party stickers/ads. This is not the case with other messaging platforms. Now I have to keep opening the app to check for messages. Only once I click on the Signal icon do the alerts actually come in. I no longer receive an audible or visual notice when people send me a message.
The service has now become pretty much useless. This bug is resolved in the most recent version of the application. It is so stupid ~ I recommend typing messages in another app and then pasting it into signal when you are done.Īlso, FYI, if you want to copy text from a signal message, hold your finger on the message and then click on the little icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like two pieces of paper - nothing will ever appear that says “copy”. Highlighting a portion of your message is impossible it jumps from one end of the message to the other and will not allow you to scroll slowly to where you want to stop highlighting. If i try to move it further than that, the window just jumps back to the area where it is currently located and moves it to some random location nearby. I am completely unable to move the cursor more than a couple lines away from its current location at a time (and the text window doesn’t extend to more than 4 lines tall), so i have to scroll a couple lines away, click somewhere to move the cursor in the direction of where i want it to go, and repeat over and over again until it finally gets there. It is a nightmare trying to move the cursor to where you want it, or to highlight a specific section of your message.
I don’t know if this disfunction is related to the particular phone (iPhone XR) that I am using Signal on now or if it is the same on other phones, but the “cursor” control on Signal is a disaster now. Nightmare editing messages on my iPhone XR
