A reminder that Signal will never reach out to you proactively, never send you a Signal message, and never ask for your verification code. The only way to correspond with Signal is via email (support@signal.org) or the Signal Support Center (support.signal.org).

Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was gone, a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design & development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups. Secure backups will let you save an archive of your Signal messages remotely in privacy-preserving form, refreshed daily. Now available in the latest Android beta release, rolling out to iOS & Desktop soon

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications. 5/

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

Sometimes one way to say "thank you" just isn't enough, so merci, danke *and* bedankt 🇧🇪
