According to reports, the White House blames contact with the iPhone with automatic suggestions for the signal scandal

How did the Atlantic Chief Editor Jeffrey Goldberg be added to a group of signals with Trump administration officials discussing his plans for an air attack in Yemen?

The simplest explanation: National Security Advisor Mike Waltz made Goldberg saved as contact on his phone and added it accidentally. In fact, when Waltz first said that Goldberg's phone number was “absorbed” from another contact, Goldberg mocked: “This is not 'the matrix'”.

But according to The Guardian, internal investigation Made by the White House Information technology Office, he concluded that something more complicated took place, with an auto-suggestion iPhone that played a key role: after Goldberg sent an email to the White House to comment on a story, a Trump spokesman Brian Hughes, sent a text message with the content of Goldberg's email to Waltz.

As a result, Waltz's iPhone offered an “contact suggestion update” that finally saved Goldberg's phone number in the name of Hughes. Then, when Waltz tried to add to Hughes, now a spokesman for the National Security Council, to the Chat, allegedly ended up adding Goldberg.

For his part, Goldberg said: “I will not comment on my relationship with Mike Waltz beyond saying that I know him and that I have spoken it.”
