Signal will soon help you transfer chat history faster and securely to new phone

Though Signal has been in the market for quite some time, but it came into prominence only a couple of months ago. In January 2021, WhatsApp revised its user privacy policy, which stated that the conversation and other personal details of the user who interact with a business/shop on its messenger app, will be passed on to Facebook ( & its subsidiaries) and third-party clients for marketing products on their social media platforms.

This apparently irked privacy-conscious users and critics and millions of people started moving to Signal and Telegram, as they were the best alternatives that had better user data protection protocols.
