I've not received a single spam message on Whatsapp or Signal for as long as I can remember.


I got lots spam on WhatsApp, None on signal.

Guess it's local issue?


i've gotten spam on signal


Was it from a number with the same area code as your Signal number? What was the spam for? Care to share the message if you still have it? I research around spam as a hobby.

Email is in my bio if needed. Thanks in advance.


I always delete it, but 100% of it is cryptocurrency scams.

I have not participated in any cryptocurrency-related groups, so I have always assumed it’s just random.


Same. Travelled all round the world for years using WhatsApp for local comms and Signal for long-term relationships, and never had spam on either.


Same, in years and years of use, never a single spam message.


good point. there are many other people who received more than once spam on whatsapp (to the point it become a meme in some subreddit).


Ditto. Add signal. Never
