FBI Pulls Deleted Signal Messages from iPhone - Even After App Was Wiped - [security]
10:15 AM EDT - Apr,10 2026 -

The FBI successfully extracted incoming Signal messages from a defendant's iPhone in a Texas terrorism case involving an alleged Antifa cell and an attack on an ICE detention facility.
Investigators accessed the messages from Apple's internal push notification database, where previews of incoming alerts remained stored despite the Signal app being deleted and disappearing messages used. Outgoing messages were not recovered, and the technique relied on lock screen notification settings that saved readable content locally. This highlights a vulnerability in iOS notification storage that bypasses Signal's end-to-end encryption when physical device access is obtained. Users can mitigate the risk by disabling message previews in Signal settings.
If you use Signal, you actually have an advantage here, now that you know about this vulnerability. Signal has a setting that blocks the content of messages from appearing in their notifications. That way, even if someone accesses your alerts, all they'll see is you received a Signal message—not who sent it or what it contains.

To turn it on, open Signal, tap your profile in the top-left corner, then hit "Settings." Under Notification Content, choose "No Name or Content" to block all data to the alert. You can compromise here and choose "Name Only" if you want to know who a message is from before you open it—just remember, an intruder may also see you received a message from that person if they scrape your iPhone's notifications.
