/ 1 min read
🔗 Signal introduces message synchronization feature for linked devices. Signal is set to launch a new feature that allows users to transfer their message history from primary iOS or Android devices to newly linked devices, such as desktops and iPads, while ensuring end-to-end encryption for privacy. The process involves generating a QR code for secure authorization and transferring an encrypted archive of messages, including text, call history, and group updates, but excluding media files older than 45 days. This feature aims to enhance user experience by allowing seamless access to past conversations without starting anew. Signal is also exploring options to extend media retention and develop restoration mechanisms for lost or damaged devices, with beta testing available for interested users.
