I'm in a situation where I want to move my SIM card from phone A (an iPhone) to phone B (Android) and back. I want to keep using Signal as I do this. Am I reading the Signal docs right that say "LOL, we'll delete all messages from your iPhone and Signal desktop" if I do this?

Isn’t that because of the device-to-device encryption? Would you really want your messages to be portable, since it would mean the decryption key living somewhere that wasn’t your phone?

They rolled out this feature for Android, using a 30-digit passcode. I just want the same for iOS

*waves in frustration* https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/996041436226293762 … I think Signal backup/portability is the biggest obstacle to more mainstream adoption. Bunch of regular people I know abandoned it basically over this.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
