This lack of backups makes Signal less appealing to anyone who isn't a security/privacy enthusiast/nut. 99+% of people want their messages to work and not lose them when their phone is broken.
- codedokode 3y agoNo I do not agree with you. Majority of people never read their message history, want their messages to self-detruct and don't want to get into a situation like when a new partner reads chat history with all previous partners. Majority of people do not record their conversations and do not need this. And most messaging applications are designed countrary to what people need - they preserve history specially for that curious new partner. Or maybe for a marketing department to analyze user's interests.
- macintux 3y agoI’m very, very skeptical that any of us can accurately assert that a majority of people want this specific behavior from their messaging apps.

- subjectsigma 3y agoThis has happened to me multiple times: convince non-technical person to download Signal, they delete app or get a new phone, they call me asking why they can’t see all their messages, they are very upset to learn they are all gone. Either I’m extremely unlucky or average users do want this.
