Since when are Apple users = "the masses"? The masses use Android and backup works there so I doubt this is what holds Signal back from mass adoption.

- novok 7y agoiOS users are the affluent, and the affluent have outsized influence.
- Krasnol 7y agoThis must be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read about the technology market. It is so far beyond delusional, it only can come from an Apple user. ...and than you wonder why people make fun of you.
- thallada 7y agoYou are referring to this backup restore process? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Ba... It involves a 6 step (with multiple sub-steps) process of navigating the sdcard contents and then transferring some obscure file over USB to a computer and then from that computer to the new phone. I doubt this is something that "the masses" will be able or willing to accomplish. Also, iOS has about 48% market share in the US, so it's at least half the masses there.
- Krasnol 7y agoOMG! SIX STEPS! Seriously? How often do you change your phone? I mean, sure I know that handing your Iphone to some genius means, you lose all your data and so on but that's not always the case on Android phones. > Also, iOS has about 48% market share in the US, so it's at least half the masses there. It is not throughout the world and since this app does not target the US population only, I doubt this group is somehow (more) relevant to the argument. Especially because we talk about a small sub-group of both markets who even cares about backups.
