Intelligence Summary
Signal now lets users link multiple phones to one account under the same phone number. This includes adding additional Android or iPhone devices, not just computers and tablets. Linked devices can all view and respond to new end-to-end encrypted messages. Signal also allows users to decide whether previously sent messages are copied to new devices. Rolling updates are currently in Signal 8.20 for Android and 8.22 for iOS/iPadOS, so users should verify what message-transfer option is selected when linking.
