Signal is particularly secure when you have no contact using it.
Signal sucks hard when trying to transfer between iOS and Android (in either direction). I lost years of chats, photos, etc as a result.
Well over 1 billion people.
Still, almost 60% of market share in North America.
How elitist can you be to find 60% of a country to be stupid?
Guess I found my first user to block after all these months on Lemmy, their post history isn't any better lol
No, it's not a feature, it's a missing feature. When your backup and restore system only works sometimes, despite being set up correctly, then that's a shit backup solution.
Everybody who uses an iPhone. Which is a metric shitload of people. What kind of question is that?
Cool story bro, but your feelings don't change the facts: signal's backup system isn't fit for purpose.
A backup system that can't effectively back up and be restored is a flawed system.
Not really an opinion.
And I know you didn't ask, I was just correcting what you wrote.
It is a discussion point, since it's here being discussed. And also, apologies. I didn't realise I was dealing with such a badass.
I don't think you're following. We were discussing the state of backups on Signal, then you suddenly decided not to talk about it, but to keep talking about nothing in particular.
I think they actually tried to use the transfer function, from how they worded it
