I think that's what I said with signal too. the exception is you can have your messages follow you, if you still have the old phone, because the app supports transferring the data.
if it can transfer the data, there's more opportunity to successfully steal it.
convenience will always negate security.
I have bad news for you, simplex also has this "security flaw": https://simplex.chat/docs/guide/managing-data.html
cool.
so then signal is just as good as simplex.
