Verification codes are currently delayed across several providers because so many new people are trying to join Signal right now (we can barely register our excitement). We are working with carriers to resolve this as quickly as possible. Hang in there.

In an earlier tweet, Musk slammed Facebook over its latest privacy policy updates for its encrypted messaging app WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has been openly collecting certain user data to share with its parent company. The latest policy updates have just scaled that up.
Signal, meanwhile, is known for fighting any entity that asks for users’ data, and has added features to boost anonymity of users where possible.
Musk also criticized Facebook for its role in helping members of the mob that stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday organize online.
