We are getting Cloud Backups in the future! Currently, there are two tiers planned:
The free tier offers:
- 30 days of media backup
- ??? GB of storage
The paid ($3 / mo) tier offers:
- media & text backup forever
- 1TB of storage Both tiers’ features and the pricing of the paid plan are still subject to change
What do you think about this?

From the website, thought this would be good to call out: “Signal Update Info is not affiliated with Signal and is not an official Signal website.”
Can someone explain use case for me? I assume it’s for folks who don’t autodelete messages and want the encryption and non-spying but the same chat ‘archive’ of other apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?
Time to leave, then.
I’d have welcomed an interface to a cloud of my choice. But yet another cloud entity hosted somewhere outside of my reach? Meh.

First of all: there will definitely be a free tier. The only thing not final is storage and media backup.
Second: local backup will most likely still be an option.
Why do people always hate on new features? Just don’t use them if you don’t want to
