Am I tripping or if you upgrade Signal Desktop, it saves all your messages in plain text (messages.json) + attachments locally so you can re-import them in the newer version? #fail #wtf

You're painting a picture of a desktop system which is locally insecure, saying you might as well not encrypt, and then describing an Android storage space which is locally insecure and which therefore needs to be encrypted.
Android has insecure *storage*. A desktop has insecure *everything* (unless you use user separation, but then other users shouldn't be able to access the backup file anyway).

If you have no privilege boundary across app *execution* (as is the default on desktops) then no amount of encryption is going to help you. Android *does* have that, hence storage encryption adds value. It does not on a desktop.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
