E2EE makes it difficult for anyone without your unlocked device (or your unlocked Signal app) to read your Signal message—difficult, not impossible. That's part of the reason the chat app is no option for government officials (though no third-party chat app could be). But it's also a good reminder that no matter who you are, your secure chats are not impervious to outside forces. If someone wants to break into your chats, they might find a way to do so.
This revelation comes from a case involving a group allegedly vandalizing property and setting off fireworks at the ICE Prairieland Detention Facility. One officer involved in the altercation was shot in the neck. According to a supporter of the defendants in this case who took notes during the trial, the court learned that any app that has permission to show previews and alerts on the Lock Screen will save those previews to the internal memory of the user's iPhone. As such, the FBI was able to obtain messages the defendant had received, even though those messages were set to disappear in the app, and the app had been cleared from the device.
How to stop this from happening to you
If you use Signal, you actually have an advantage here, now that you know about this vulnerability. Signal has a setting that blocks the content of messages from appearing in their notifications. That way, even if someone accesses your alerts, all they'll see is you received a Signal message—not who sent it or what it contains.
To turn it on, open Signal, tap your profile in the top-left corner, then hit "Settings." Under Notification Content, choose "No Name or Content" to block all data to the alert. You can compromise here and choose "Name Only" if you want to know who a message is from before you open it—just remember, an intruder may also see you received a message from that person if they scrape your iPhone's notifications.
