Apple has resolved a bug that inadvertently stored push notification data containing parts of encrypted Signal messages, even after the app was deleted. This data could have been accessed by law enforcement, raising privacy concerns for users relying on Signal for secure communication. Signal confirmed the fix, expressing gratitude for Apple's swift action. While Apple cited a 'logging issue,' the incident highlights the sensitivity of push notification data and the ongoing tension between user privacy and government surveillance capabilities.
