Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...
Signal also conveniently forgot all of my previous messages in the most recent update.
But hey if I log in and register my phone number they might be able to get it back.
Fuck signal
Threema for me
FYI: Signal stores all of your messages on your device. If something happens to them there, they’re gone. In not saying that justifies an update nuking your messages. Just explaining for anyone who it’s not understand that There’s no central database storing your data long term. Which is a feature.
Assuming their story is true.
How would logging in and giving them your number potentially restore them if they’re stored locally and are just gone?
☞ automatic backups
Use a messenger that doesn’t require to to log in to view data stored on your phone. I’m sure the data is there, I’m just not allowed to see it.
sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.
