> This is so incredibly important! I am very happy to see this, the fact that you could not do a backup on iOS and you would lose everything in case your device dies is the biggest drawback of iOS. FTFY. It's originally Apple preventing its users from easily controlling their own data. | ||

Apple 100% supports this, and has since day one, backing up securely to your local computer with no cloud in sight--and, in fact, has always been an industry leader on this, as they understand backups directly help their hardware sales--but Signal goes out of their way to block it. | ||

> Apple preventing its users from easily controlling their own data Could you please elaborate? iOS has secure encrypted backups, and secure encrypted cloud backups using end-to-end encryption. Signal specifically disables these mechanisms. | ||
