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?

Yaaaay, that’s the last big thing I was looking for
Wow 1TB is a lot of storage. I think my backups are ~1Gb so it might be nice to have some tiers in the middle for those on a budget. At the same time, a lot of those media files are gifs and memes 😄
I think in your (and most other) case(s) the free tier would be just fine
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.?
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.”
Good, this is a must feature for messaging app nowadays.
