Signal has added the ability to link several devices to the same phone number, including Android and iPhone. Previously possible only for PCs and iPads, you can now sync your messages across all your devices.
From today, you can link other smartphones to a single Signal account, making it more flexible to manage your chats across different devices. This update makes it easier to use the platform on several devices without having to create separate accounts.
Signal also lets you transfer end-to-end encrypted messages to newly linked devices, keeping your conversations secure. The update is available with Signal 8.20 on Android and 8.22 for iPhone/iPad.
Why this change?
In my view, linking several smartphones to a single Signal account is an important step towards portability between devices without compromising security. It makes the experience smoother, especially for people who change devices often.
Signal continues to stress the need to protect its users' personal information and private conversations through advanced encryption technology. The update is a significant step towards greater flexibility without compromising a secure experience.
