signal is the perfect messaging app for normies

I would generally agree with you, if it could allow you to sign-in on multiple devices, and share message history. I understand why it doesn't do either one, but it does cripple the experience

[-] SirFancypants@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Technically, you can sign in on multiple devices and share history. I share between my phone and multiple desktops. You just can't do it between two mobile devices.

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But… you can't sign-in on multiple devices and see the message history there?!

[-] younity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You can once they have both been set up, the history from that point on is shared.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah you can. I have it synced on desktop, phone, laptop. The kicker is that it will only have messages starting from when you synced and log in. If I added a new device, it would not see messages from yesterday, however it will start syncing from all devices from that point on.

But Signal doesn't let me restrict receiving voice messages either. I only found options regarding calls, not voice messages.

No. History is not synced between devices. Did not use it on windows? - deliniced and after relink you have no history again. It annoys with entering a password. Migration to a new phone backup to s file, somehow copy the file to a new phone, restore - not for normied.

signal has same e2e encryption as WhatsApp and requires your phone number: same level of privacy,much worse user experience, much less features. Not a great option for normies.

its a sacrifice one must make. also whatsapp is closed source so e2e is as good as nothing
