Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device
This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.
Not having backups here on iOS stresses me out. I like using iOS beta updates, but knowing I’m one bad beta from having to restore my phone (where every other little thing except Signal is backed up and waiting) and lose my conversation history forever really bugs me.

I hate hearing shit like this. What are they thinking?
They are thinking “your computer, your problem”.
