TBH this was my reason not to use Signal at all... same with WhatsApp super annoying linking between mobile and desktop :/

Why can't we use XMPP where you can have multiple device and accounts without required mobile phone? Oh I know - because dumb walled gardens and BigTech not liking it... it's a mirracle we got away with e-mail before they came to power :/

That article only mentions iPhones, for which Molly was never an option anyway.

But, apparently Android is also supported: https://aboutsignal.com/news/signal-allows-android-phones-to...

So glad they finally added this!

Unfortunately linked accounts don't count as primary devices so you will always have to keep the original device active or else they'll eventually delete your account.

I have the opposite use case where I need to have two Signal accounts on a single phone. Having Molly alongside the official Signal app was always the solution, but I wish Signal would allow switching between profiles, or Android would allow arbitrary user accounts (I don't really want to add Signal to my work profile).

Wow, they have not done a good job advertising that when I needed that feature.

I’ve been using Beeper to keep using Signal on my older iPhone when I upgraded.

They do not support Android tablets as a second device. Molly is the only choice. It is why I stopped my annual contributions to them.

That has been my main reason for Molly as well. Good they finally understood that people might be using more than 1 phone.

Have you managed to transfer from Molly to Signal?

Molly backups stopped working (probably due to lack of updates) and I can't seem to transfer between the two apps on the same device.
