Deleted Signal Messages Might Still Be Recovered, The FBI Has Shown How
If you use an iPhone and value your privacy, you might be surprised to learn that the FBI recovered Signal messages from a suspectโs phone even after the app was deleted. The app was removed, but the messages could still be found.
How was this possible?
During a federal trial about an attack on an ICE detention center in Texas, FBI Special Agent Clark Wiethorn explained that they recovered messages by accessing Appleโs internal push notification database, even though Signal had already been deleted from the phone.
Hereโs how it works: When you receive a Signal message and your notification settings let message content show on your lock screen, iOS saves those previews in your phoneโs memory. Only incoming messages are saved this way, not outgoing ones, but the content can stay even after you delete the app and its messages.
This issue isnโt just about Signal. Itโs with how Apple stores notifications for all messaging apps. Apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and any others that show message previews on your lock screen could be affected too.
So, what is actually being saved?
iOS keeps a notification database to manage what you see on your lock screen and in the Notification Center. When an app sends a notification with a preview, like "John: Hey, are we still on for tonight?", that text is saved in a local SQLite database on your phone. This information stays there even if you clear the notification, delete the app, or use disappearing messages, because the operating system controls this storage, not the app.
Law enforcement can use forensic extraction tools to pull this database directly from your phoneโs file system. They donโt need the app to do it.
How to protect yourself
Thereโs a simple solution that many people overlook:
For each app: Open Settings, tap Notifications, select the app, tap Show Previews, and choose Never.
To apply this to all apps (recommended): Go to Settings, tap Notifications, tap Show Previews, and set it to Never.
This setting tells iOS not to save message content in the notification database. Youโll still get alerts for new messages, but you wonโt see previews on your lock screen. Most importantly, no one with forensic access to your phone will see them either.
You should also turn on Advanced Data Protection in Settings under your name, then iCloud, then Advanced Data Protection. This adds end-to-end encryption for most iCloud data, including backups, Messages in iCloud, and Photos.

Every day, I would believe that, only crypto traders with high-risk investments gets high returns.
Obviously, some would agree, some not.
Holding on to the 'I am a risk taker'. The more I believed in it - the more the market cared less.
It dawned on me when my savings were no more โ then I realized the implications of what has happened.
