Will DormannLet me get this straight...
The default setting for Signal on an iPhone allows law enforcement to see the content of all incoming messages, even after the app has been deleted? 🤔
0mnicore@wdormann Lockdown mode overrides this setting. Or if you don’t use lockdown mode (which is a bad choice) you should change it in Signal. @signalapp cannot account for iPhone’s default behaviour (keeping a record of notifications)
@omnicore @signalapp
Yeah, I've been on Lockdown Mode since it was released.
Do you have a reference for how this is the case?
@wdormann @signalapp On iPhones one cannot be certain…
@omnicore @signalapp
Regardless, even just testing things out on a clean test device, an iPhone with Lockdown Mode enabled still gets push notifications with the incoming message body.
So, color me skeptical that Lockdown Mode does anything regarding this.
@wdormann @signalapp And the push notification system is another concern. Realistically somebody should accept the battery drain penalty and use Signal on a phone without push notifications (on iPhones this is impossible)
f*cking b*tch club@omnicore @wdormann @signalapp What I got from the article is what you said here: the weakness is in iPhone’s default behavior.
@grammasaurus @omnicore @signalapp
The screenshot I shared is from the Signal app itself, which chooses to include the message content in notifications.
So I'd say that both are at fault.
@wdormann @omnicore @signalapp That’s not at all what I see on my phone for the signal app.
I’m using iOS 18.1.1–maybe the latest version has changed a lot?

18.1.1, eh? If you don't install security updates, I wouldn't expect your experience to be like the rest of the world. 😂
