Okay new thread with this question. My Iphone 5S is just rebooting over and over again. Any advice? I will head over to Apple store as soon as I can. I am abroad. Do you think it will work if I buy a new phone and switch my US SIM to it? Also I WANT SIGNAL BACKUP OPTION.

Unfortunately, Androids aren't secure. I used to have Google Android phones--where I repeatedly tried to turn off Google tracking options and repeatedly found that I was unable to stop Google. There were always more buried options that were ON by default.https://twitter.com/temporalthought/status/996041746344689666 …

At the moment, both iMessage and WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted but log metadata. Signal does not. Unfortunately, lack of Signal backup option means I will chose to let metadata be logged. No more Signal for me. It will affect how I can communicate.

I have a new phone! If you're one of the many I said I'd only talk to you on Signal: It's now only iMessage or WhatsApp. Not installing Signal on my new phone. 1-I'd lose old Signal messages in case phone recovered. 2-No more Signal for me till iOS backups are possible. I'm done.

Well, that makes one of you ... Yes, I do hate that about Signal but I hate way more other things about other messaging apps. It is pretty inflexible - but, developers DO listen. Just my .02

I’ve always considered instant messaging content as disposable records

What does this have to do with billions of other people who may not be you?

I thought Signal (keys and messages) was backed up as part of local encrypted iOS backups? Almost certain I've restored mine before (plus 2FA). Also the Secure Enclave in the 5S is not as robust as 6 and newer.

You can run Signal on a laptop in parallel to a mobile device, so maybe that can be the backup?

I can, but nothing on a laptop is really really secure. I'll just get off Signal, and use something less secure in the meantime.
