They synchronization is my main problem of signal. When I’m changing devices or stuff like that and I have to do a manual backup to get Signal back…with other services like Telegram what’s up whatever, you instant get your chats up again.
So me and my wife switched back to Telegram.
I badly want to use Signal as my main communication but sync and horrible search options makes it harder to sell.
The sync might be a problem pretty much because this is not a cloud sync but a local sync. Your phone or desktop has to be online to be able to sync. Unlike telegram which stores all your messages, signal doesnt, thus needing a local sync system.
Or I can continue not using it like everyone else. It’s Signal’s responsibility to attract users, not mine. I’m all for it if they can gain adoption but I’m not investing any effort into helping them without pay

That’s all well and good but does nothing to address the user’s need for sync
For that, you will need to complain to Signal’s team in their community.
