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.
But @whispersystems can let people back up, even insecurely, on a contact-by-contact basis. I used to use Signal for everything. I could choose which ones to back up. Now, I'm off Signal and for a long time this has been why I cannot convert people to Signal.

At-risk people need ordinary people to use Signal (people cannot install a "security-only" app in at-risk nations) and ordinary people cannot have *zero* options for backing up anything. Warn people backups are insecure and let them back up.

That's a reasonable proposal, though I think it's also reasonable to say that this would weaken security for everyone. Like, if you know that your contacts can easily back up to Google drive unencrypted, do you still think of Signal as secure?

That seems like a fairly narrow-audience feature. Hard to imagine that feature making sense for most Signal users.
