TLDR: signal content in Apple notification can be retrieved even after signal app deletion.

I saw from this reddit thread: Signal messages retrieved from iPhone after uninstalling app. : signal

Referencing this news article: Pretti Killing May Affect ICE Prairieland "Antifa Cell" Terrorism Trial

The mention of signal is in court documents here: March 10: Federal Trial Day 12 - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Signal chat evidence from Sharp’s device (Exhibit 158):
Messages were recovered from Sharp’s phone through Apple’s internal notification storage — Signal had been removed, but incoming notifications were preserved in internal memory. Only incoming messages were captured (no outgoing).

Another reason not to own Apple products.

Don't think I've ever seen a company with shittier products better at tricking the gullible into buying them.

Anything you can do on a Mac/iPhone you can do on a PC/Android for half the price. Windows is a much more compatible and intuitive OS. And so is Android.

Source: I've worked in IT for over 20 years. I've worked with a ton of other techs. They all hated Apple. I actually just got done working on a Mac that our media department brought me because they were also tricked by advertising into thinking you need a Mac to do media stuff. It was a nightmare and my hatred for Apple has only increased.

P.S. Please don't bother telling me how Linux is superior to Windows. I know Lemmy likes Linux. I don't care. It's not as compatible as Windows and not suitable for a work environment. I have my problems with Microsoft. This comment is about hating Apple more.
