So in theory, to be able to view my activity on the desktop signal app, the phone has to be connected to internet to sync with it.Īm I missing something ? I'm assuming signal desktop doesn't retrieve everything from all my contacts. They claim that everything is stored locally. Combined with WhatsApp's ubiquity, ease of use and the ability to send voice messages, photos, and video messages, and conduct group chats, makes for a robust and fully encrypted mobile-messaging. How is it possible that signal can sync all messages, pictures etc when my phone is turned off. Then I turn off my phone and decide to use signal on pc. The pc is off and I send multiple messages to multiple contacts on my phone. Because everything in Signal is end-to-end encrypted, the Signal service does not have access to any of this data.īut let's say I have 2 devices synced together (phone + pc). These contents are readable by the open source Signal clients.

Signal messages, pictures, files, and other contents are stored locally on your device.

So this is what they say on their website I would like to know how paired devices get synced together in Signal messaging app.
