Signal has addressed a significant flaw in its mobile application that sent undesired photographs to users without warning in some situations. Despite the fact that the issue was first discovered in December 2020, it wasn’t until this month that a patch was handed out to Android users of the end-to-end encrypted messaging app. Signal fixed an issue in their Android app earlier this month that affected certain users. When sharing a picture to one of your connections via the Signal Android app, the recipient might occasionally receive not only the selected image but also a few other unintentional photographs that the user had never sent.
