Of all the messengers I used, Signal is absolutely the most horrible when it comes to switching devices.
There is no fucking way to switch from iPhone to Android phone (or back).
There is no rucking way of replacing your phone with a new one and keeping all your messages, chats, etc.
Migration to a new iPhone from an existing iPhone doesn't work - yes, tried it many, many times - iPhone 14 v iPhone 13 - yes, "Local Network" was allowed for both.
No fucking way to backup your chats, keys, data.
No fucking way to add another device (tablet/desktop) as a backup, and then add the new iPhone as device there.
Signal is really the epitome of a single-phone messenger I have ever seen.
What a fucking PoS.
(Oh, yeah, and it keeps bothering me with "donate"-messages even though I FUCKING DONATE monthly - or why does it show that fucking badge there?)
Worst UX in a messenger - fucking PoS!!
