> Can I use Signal from desktop only? Yes, the desktop client functions independently from the phone client once linked (so not like whatsapp that proxies everything through your phone). > Can I create an account from desktop? Technically yes, but you either need to compile the desktop client yourself[0] and miss some features or use something like signal-cli[1] to act as the main client. So it's not supported (yet?). > Is my account independent of any specific device? The first client that registers acts as the main client, so no. But it might get easier to restore access on a different device without using backups with the secure value recovery[2] stuff they are working on. > Can I use Signal on multiple computers at the same time with correct credentials? It's possible to link and use several desktop clients at the same time.
