But it is still lack behind Whatsapp, I used it for sometimes and it was slow and not as snappy as whatsapp( I was not on the latest ios device) but Whatsapp opens quickly, and much snappier. Signal should be the future of messaging app, it is opne source and end to end encrypted. ( I am not pretty sure, I know it and I did post in the community forum then and contacted them) I love signal and I love people who promote it, but I Don't use it because I can't manage my data with signal.Īnd per what I research a year ago even moving signal chat from android to ios is cumbersome and from ios to android is impossible. (TELEGRAM DOES but I like to to have End to End encryption and I don't want my data stored in a server) Whatsapp messages are still stored on the device both on android and Iphone, and I do backup with itunes but sadly on Android there is NO WAY to fully backup your device properly (at least with Samasung) but itunes backup are perfect.Īnd sadly signal doesn't offer backup on IOS or export to html on any platform. Signal, no way to export data, otherwise I would not use any other app, it is even harder to backup your data. I also tried to find a similar app like whatsapp to convince some people to jump over, it was hell, not possible, and to be fair to them, whatsapp is so LIGHT AND simple even on cheaper devices. Why don't whatsaop offer it, I would pay, it would be fair to me, I have been using it for free. I am struggling financially, but I still am willing to pay hundreds to be able just to preserve my whatsapp conversation. And it is not just him! Everyone even government and companies use whatsapp where I live. I don't know what Matrix/element is, but my fathe is over 60 years old, he only know Whatsapp. My point is that these Operating system are truly becoming a walled hell.Īnd I feel positive that windows will become as restrictive, and worst a horrible buggy one, but for someone like me it is hard to switch to linux, but I know eventually I must and I will. On pc if you deleted something by mistake you could've ran a recovery software, you had access to the device, on iphone and android it became so complicated that there is no software to do it, well a quick search some years ago turned some forensic software that is sold only to governments. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context.
