Signal finally allows you to change your phone number without losing your conversations

This change will allow users to keep their account Signal
even in the event of a line change.

Signal is an instant messenger that has enjoyed some success thanks in particular to its particular attention to the confidentiality of user data.

Greater flexibility offered to users who change phone lines

In particular, the software offers end-to-end encrypted exchanges between users, both in conversations and group exchanges.

However, this maximum security also has its drawbacks. It was already possible to transfer your account from an old device to a new one, but there was no option provided for users wishing to change their phone number.

This problem is now history thanks to a new option allowing to keep all of its data, even in the event of a line change. Signal specifies, however, that it is essential to keep your old phone during the transfer.

Once the modification has been made, the correspondents will receive a notification notifying them of the change of number and inviting them to update their contact file.

The feature is rolling out and works with the latest version to be picked up from the Google Play Store and App Store.
