I would argue that Signal is a great example of this working quite well, and tons of normal people use Signal. It's no more frictional than WhatsApp.

- ants_everywhere 1y agoI think so, this looks like the feature where adding an new linked device transfers messages from your phone. What still isn't possible as far as I am aware is transferring messages from Android to iOS or vice versa. Last time I looked into this was a few weeks ago.
