Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...
FYI: Signal stores all of your messages on your device. If something happens to them there, they’re gone. In not saying that justifies an update nuking your messages. Just explaining for anyone who it’s not understand that There’s no central database storing your data long term. Which is a feature.
Assuming their story is true.
How would logging in and giving them your number potentially restore them if they’re stored locally and are just gone?
Do you even understand the meaning of secrecy? And the point is that you cannot enter the Signal without authorization by phone… And in general, no one cares about your messages (what is inside), the main thing is who, with whom and when. You will be imprisoned not for what you wrote to Osamma en Laden, but for the fact that you contacted him at all (then turn on your imagination and find some other international villain)
