Hello, thank you for your comment and for your work on Signal.
I wrote a comment here outlining my frustration over the lack of export ability in iOS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25763997 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25763997
I feel this goes beyond simply not providing a "feature", but rather it is actively harmful to users, especially in combination with unreliable mobile/desktop sync. It means that people get their memories destroyed, without warning and without recourse.
Would you be willing to have a conversation with me over email (address in profile)? I would like to discuss what can be done about this, and I would be open to compensating developers for their time.

- DavidSJ 6y agoYes, unfortunately this is inadequate. Note that only transfers to other iOS devices are supported, and also “your old device will delete your message history after the transfer is complete”.
