I just migrated from a pixel 4xl -> 5 and back with signal.

Nobody noticed, no warnings about encryption keys changing, no problems whatsoever. Took about 5 minutes each time (including googling of the directions).

Just make a backup (with an encryption key), then do a restore (and enter said key). Not as convenient as if it was automatic, but it does seem like a pretty secure approach.



thats good to hear. Now I would like to see something on the desktop client


I had to relink my desktop client, but the history stayed.


on a new PC ?? the conversations came over ??


No. Had a desktop client linked to my phone. Migrated to a new phone, relinked the desktop client, and lost nothing.
