      I would generally agree with you, if it could allow you to sign-in on multiple devices, and share message history. I understand why it doesn’t do either one, but it does cripple the experience

        Technically, you can sign in on multiple devices and share history. I share between my phone and multiple desktops. You just can’t do it between two mobile devices.

      But Signal doesn’t let me restrict receiving voice messages either. I only found options regarding calls, not voice messages.

      No. History is not synced between devices. Did not use it on windows? - deliniced and after relink you have no history again. It annoys with entering a password. Migration to a new phone backup to s file, somehow copy the file to a new phone, restore - not for normied.

      signal has same e2e encryption as WhatsApp and requires your phone number: same level of privacy,much worse user experience, much less features. Not a great option for normies.
