Comment on Signal details costs of keeping its private messaging service alive | TechCrunch
otter@lemmy.ca 1 year agoThe process is a bit involved on mobile. Setting up a backup location, using a third party app to sync updates and deletions etc. It could be simplified by integrating with common cloud storage services (the encrypted file)
Also iOS doesn’t have backups at all last I checked. If you lose your phone the messages are toast

I just checked the Signal Support (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages). And it appears there is a method generally, but not for iOS. Tho' screenshots work. And I understand how not backing up, and disappearing messages contribute to security.
