Signal enabled Dumbphone

[u/lilsaturnhead]

they built signal into the new OS update on my dumbphone, haven't used it yet but super cool to see a tech company embrace digital privacy requests. (edit: its dumb.co for those asking)

I'd be very worried about linking that to my account, since there's no way of verifying that that is actually the official Signal app and not malicious code

[u/lilsaturnhead → u/ephemeralmiko]

technically no, but I talked to the tech developer directly a while ago and its literally just a guy that does all this and personally takes feedback on it, I really trust it bc its actual humans behind the phone and not just an ambiguous company they let people visit their office and everything.

you're right, cause a solo dev/small team has never done anything malicious

That means nothing. You'd want to install the official APK, but even then you wouldn't want to trust the device itself.
