Apple patched a bug in iPhone's notification database that preserved notifications marked for deletion, giving the FBI a path to forensically pull Signal messages even after the app itself was wiped. 404 Media first exposed the flaw via unsealed Texas federal court records tied to a Prairieland ICE detention facility attack case. Signal confirmed the fix and Telegram's Pavel Durov used the moment to push for messaging apps killing notification previews entirely — a reminder that E2E encryption is only as strong as the OS layer underneath it.
