> Whatsapp nails this experience on Android with the back up and transfer capability
Note that Whatsapp’s backups are in plaintext and sent to a Google property, while Signal’s backups (even if more cumbersome to set up) are encrypted with a key that only you know.
- bilal4hmed 6y agoyes good catch, I forgot to mention that. I wanted to highlight that for the average user being able to backup and move messages to a new device easily is a big plus even if its insecure. I hope in 2021 Signal can improve their new transfer method by allowing transfers between Android devices or even ( albeit far more difficult) android and ios
