I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

Does Signal back up in plaintext in the cloud? Where do the pub/ private keys live, exactly, tbh. (Assuming it is asymmetric encryption that they use?)

  Signal doesn’t store any of your chats at all. They’re all on-device by design

    Hm… If they’re not being stored on the cloud, that means offline users would never receive messages.
