Just remember that if you, or anyone you are talking to, has notifications turned on (in the app itself), that conversation is now outside of signal and a lot easier to get to.
Which is an everything problem, not a signal problem. Just in case it sounds like a signal problem.
This was recently kinda misrepresented in the media, in my opinion.
Yes, notifications can leave traces. But it’s traces on the device itself that can be forensically extracted. Though notifications are pushed through Apple’s/Google’s servers, the contents are encrypted end-to-end.
Doesn’t it depend on what’s in the notifications?
This issue and its solution will be the same as with any other app notifications.
Didn’t they just fix this this week?
