Yes but I think we are talking about design decisions right?

It's honestly hard to distinguish in some cases. Like is nuking my archive when I reinstall the same SIM a design decision or a bug?

Sounds like a conservative effect of 'clear all messages on SIM change'

Sim went out, sim went in, conservative course of wiping makes sense

It makes the product unusable for me since I need to use a sim across multiple devices. Signal is full of these principled wrong decisions betraying a lack of field testing with real humans

Who else swaps sims between devices except when they get a new phone? I've heard of one device shared between users but not so much one sim shared between devices

I upgraded my phone (as I do at least once a year) and yet again not only did it nuke everything that was securely copied over, but it severed the link to desktop app.

It's supposed to sever the old link right? New device, new keys. How did you copy over messages?

I used to get a new SIM every time I’d go to HK, then another for Taipei. Then I’d re-insert my American SIM when I got home. Fortunately I don’t have to do all that anymore.

But you'd carry the same device across borders?
