how does the signal app still not have something as basic as a "sign out" button

 @forgifuzzbutt yeah i just figured out why there's no sign out button (only a "delete account" button) because the only representation of your account is on your phone. if you get a new one you lose all your messages and have to create a new account @tay There is a flow of moving your messages over from one phone to a new one, but it doesn’t work across platforms and notifies anyone that you’re messaging that you changed devices iirc. But yeeeeeeeah @forgifuzzbutt and plus, it relies on you having both physical devices, which isn't all that helpful if your phone is down a drain or in some repair center @tay iirc the Android version actually does encrypted backups, but you’ll need to have to actually be backing them up somewhere else. iirc they don’t really talk about it much. |
@tay Who needs a sign out button when you don’t even support multiple accounts to begin with? Lol
I love the idea of Signal, but there’s decisions like that that I question the logic of.
Also the networking effect and all that.
