I like the security-mindedness of Signal, but some of their choices baffle me. They go through all this trouble to create an encrypted cloud storage, which many people in the target audience of Signal do not want, while not even giving iOS users the simple option of creating an offline backup of their messages (in fact, they actively disable this option). This issue has been open for more than four years [1] and even has a $1000 bounty [2]. 1: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/967 https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/967 2: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/28598496-message-export-backup https://www.bountysource.com/issues/28598496-message-export-...
