Is it still viable to use Signal for privacy in 2026? It’s centralized, and has had many suspicious occurrences in the past.(Unopen source server code, careless whisper exploit which is still active as far as I know, and the whole mobile coin situation.)
Thoughts?
Most likely this is referring to the case where they extracted messages from the notification history of an iPhone.
Which would be the situation with any app that has notifications that show content.
If you want to be perfectly safe here, you’d need to disable notification content. This has nothing to do with signal.
Oh yeah. As another comment pointed out. Users can control this by using hidden notifications. Not a sigbal issue.
