      Eek, now I have to *walk* to an Apple store without Google maps for direction. Anyone who has seen me try to find my way anywhere knows what this means. If I am not heard from, please send Google Maps.

      Not everyone who uses Signal needs highest security; a backup option—especially if turned on contact by contact—would accelerate adoption. Most of the time, that's why I can't get people to use Signal at all, which hinders Signal for the truly at-risk.https://twitter.com/hibaymj/status/996024523727233025 …

      But who holds the key for your backup? It may be annoying but it’s also a really hard problem to solve without undermining the security in the first place.

      Also, to get into my iCloud, I need 2FA with ... my non-working phone or a text to my phone. (I'm getting around this with a temporary phone at the Apple store at the moment but I guess I'm testing out all the 2FA hard problems in one go!)

      Does anyone know if buy an Apple iPhone (SE) in Europe and find that the different antenna configuration degrades performance too much in the US, I can return the phone in the US? (SE has different versions with different LTE antennas). Asking for .. nobody in particular.

      Also, does anyone, ahem, know if iPhone SE (Model A1723) which isn't optimized for T-Mobile or AT&T in the US but will kinda work degrades terribly because of lack of the exact optimization of the right antennas? I know it will work but how much of a performance loss? 😢

      GRRR. Buying my *third* iPhone in a year. 😡😡😡One I kept (instead of reselling like I wanted to) because I couldn't backup Signal. Now one I lost all my Signal messages on phone two. No more Signal for me until @whispersystems figures out a way to backup *under user control*.

      I'll give up metadata to iMessage or to WhatsApp rather than deal with the inability to backup Signal. Literally, this is the biggest issue I've had trying to convert people to Signal. Now I'm converted out. I realize there are challenges but local back up should be an option!
