Signal finally makes using multiple Android devices much easier
You no longer have to choose which phone gets to keep your Signal chats.
Signal, a secure messaging application, has unveiled an enhancement to its linked devices feature. This update enables users to attach an additional Android phone or tablet to their current account. The functionality can be optionally extended to transfer message history and the last 45 days of media. Aside from this, the update also introduces a revamped Android tablet and foldable device interface, eliminating the old single-screen navigation.
Signal's previous struggle against competing apps wasn't related to its encryption, voice call capabilities, or the absence of certain features. Instead, it was the cumbersome process of transitioning between devices that hindered its appeal. This issue has now been addressed with the recent update. Signal has released version 8.20 for Android users, and concurrently, iOS users can update to version 8.22.
This update allows iPhone users to connect an extra iPhone to their existing account, alongside the already supported iPad.
