You Can Now Link More Devices to a Signal Messaging Account
The company also updated the app to look better on devices with different screen sizes.
Signal, the free-to-use messaging app, has announced that Android users can now link another Android phone or tablet to their account, and iOS users can link an iPhone to their accounts. To link a new device, download the Signal app onto the new device, open it to view a QR code, and then on the primary account phone, open Signal and go to Signal Settings > Linked devices > Link a new device.
Scan the QR code to link the new device. Customers can link more than one device and transfer their message history and 45 previous days of saved media to the new device. The transfers process is fully end-to-end encrypted, meaning the data is scrambled and unreadable to others. Signal also says the app will now adapt its layout to different screen sizes so it looks more natural on linked devices, like tablets.
