⚡️🚨 NEW - The FBI has successfully extracted deleted Signal messages from a suspect's iPhone via notification storage, the place where all your notifications are stored for up to one month. Notification storage stores data from all messaging apps, it's a big flaw in iOS. But there's a way to turn it off... Go to iOS Settings → Notifications → [App Name] → Show Previews and set it to Never. You can also do this globally under Settings → Notifications → Show Previews → Never

iPhone does that? Dafuq? I don't think this is a thing on my Android.

I don't think that does anything or corresponds to the article. They allude that they were able to get the server to resend notifications because the token was still alive. The thing you are marking only changes how it looks on the lock screen.

GrapheneOS doesn't persistently store notifications unless users explicitly enable notification history. For users enabling notification history, it's a 24 hour log that's cleared as soon as the feature is disabled again. This is the standard Android Open Source Project approach. View quoted note →

Interesting.. “it is possible the FBI extracted the information from a device backup. In that case, there are many commercially available tools for law enforcement that exploit iOS vulnerabilities to extract data that could have helped the FBI access this information.” So iPhone backups (before the bug fix) could be storing plain text push notifications in a cache somewhere?
