I recently found out that Signal supports stickers created by users and was very happy about it. For me, the easiest way to install was this site. Thank you, Signal developers!

    Well, not syncing past history is an intended feature, so there’s that.

      I know. But this feature must be configurable. Especially since signal loses pairing time to time. This and few other intended features make it hardly usable, some people can accept such discomfort as a price of security, others - don’t.

        I completely understand how annoying that is if you care about it. I’m not gonna lie, every now and then I hate it, too.

        People want convenience and comfort, and who can blame them. It’s such a big problem nowadays that privacy and data security is not the convenient, default option.

        We have to go out of our way to take our privacy back, and most people just won’t bother. And again, completely understandable.

          In case of history sync, I do not understand why it cannot be synced with approval from the main device, to be honest.

            Maybe it has something to with the encryption, with how forward secrecy works or something like that. But then again, I don’t know enough about how any of this works.
