Signal hails Apple’s iPhone patch to prevent retained notifications

Signal welcomed Apple’s iOS 26.4.2 security update, which fixes a logging/redaction issue that could leave notifications marked for deletion on devices. The patch is said to delete inadvertently-preserved notifications and prevent future preservation for deleted apps; the company notes no confirmed link to FBI access reports, and users are advised to install the latest software.

FBI Recovered Deleted Signal Messages Through iPhone Notifications

The FBI reportedly retrieved incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone not by accessing the Signal app, but by scraping the device’s push notification database to capture alerts that displayed messages on the Lock Screen, even after the app was deleted. Signal users can mitigate this by enabling notification content blocking (Settings > Notification Content > No Name or Content) to prevent revealing who a message is from or what it contains; note that any app displaying lock-screen previews can create a similar vulnerability.

To enable, go to Settings > Notifications > Notification history (on some devices you may find it under Advanced notification settings). The history shows the app and timestamp, and can also help you identify apps that flood your alerts.

Silence the Workout Buzz: The Apple Watch Setting I Always Turn Off

A fitness editor explains how enabling Fitness Focus on iPhone silences nonessential workout notifications on the Apple Watch while still allowing critical alerts; you can customize which people and apps notify you, set auto-activation with the workout app, and even permit repeated calls.
