Signal has rolled out an update allowing users to link additional Android or iPhone devices to a single account using one phone number. Previously, the app only supported linking PCs and iPads as secondary devices. With the new feature, users can read and respond to messages across all linked devices simultaneously. Users also have the option to transfer an end-to-end encrypted copy of past messages to each newly linked device, reducing risk if a device is lost, shared, or compromised. The update is available in Signal version 8.20 for Android and version 8.22 for iPhone and iPad.
