Grand jury subpoena for Signal user data, Central District of California

I believe they are encrypted (and decrypted on device by the Signal app). They recently had to do some rewriting of the code for iOS15 - they share some comments about that here: https://community.signalusers.org/t/beta-feedback-for-the-up... Hope it helps

Edit: wow people were fast to reply…

I'm actually surprised they didn't use a notification extension before. They're surprisingly great as an API - I used it to dynamically render preview line chart images for a finance app I worked on a few years ago. Just send over the limited line data, render the image, and you're good to go.

Sweet, thanks for the link to that discussion. Looks like they're handling it :)

Handling what? They've never depended on Apple for encryption.
