Welcome to Molly v6.31.2-1
Introducing Multi-Device Support!
Now, you can install Molly on multiple devices, including Android tablets, and link them to a single account, just like Signal Desktop. ...
Cool. I really respect his opinions, so I'll definitely be giving this a look. I still need to get my wife on board though, since that's what killed Signal for me last time I tried it (no point when the person I send the most sensitive info to doesn't use it).
the two can co-exist as well... you can keep your Signal install on your primary device and you can install Molly on a tablet, and have it linked to your Signal app as a linked device.
this way there's no loss of data on your primary device
Molly connects to the Signal server, so you can chat with your Signal contacts seamlessly. Please remember to review the Signal Terms & Privacy Policy before signing up.
As long as the Molly version is greater than or equal to the Signal version, it will work. Molly updates usually trail behind signal updates, so you'll have to either time it right or pause updates on you Signal app.
Just installed the FOSS version, was greeted with a "you can encrypt your database with a passphrase" message, put a long password in both fields, and, well, app crashes. Not really trustworthy imo
