  • Okay so I’ve been using Signal for over two years now and would like to address your critical points:

    • I switched from my old phone to my current phone without losing even one message. Not even safety numbers changed
    • Yes you have to give them a phone number. And yes atm everyone is able to see them. This will change this year as usernames are coming. The phone number will from then on only be used for verification and stored encrypted
    • I have three devices: Phone (Android), Tablet (Android) and PC (Linux). All of the messages get synchronized properly and almost instantly
    • I don’t know what you mean by this exactly but I think you mean that the official Signal server doesn’t support forked clients which is false if you take a look at Molly (which I’m using on my Tablet due to several reasons)

    In terms of reliability in general I never experienced any issues with Signal. It works great even in bad internet connection scenarios.
