Signal WhatsApp Chats Import
I have been using Signal for two years now and I love it.<p>However I really, <i>really</i> hope they can work on a good backup and restore process as losing my message history because I have to reinstall the app on my desktop[1] or have to reset my phone is a <i>horrible</i> experience.<p>Just build an encrypted blob and zip it up and pop it on my iCloud or Google Drive or leave it local and let me deal with it but I need <i>something</i>. As my Signal use moves from just messages with friends and family to business contacts I <i>need</i> a reliable way to backup my messages!<p>[1] I should state I mean losing the desktop copy as it starts "fresh" and does not import any messages from the phone.<p>Edit: I should probably clarify I am talking about the iOS/macOS applications as these are what I use. iOS does have a migration feature but that doesn't help if your phone is lost/damaged. I need a <i>proper</i> backup and restore process as well as the ability to import messages from the phone to the desktop app.
