    Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

    I much prefer Signal, but can’t judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

        Doesn’t necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

        Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.
