Signal Android Beta Adds Multi-Device Support Without Second Number

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from 9to5Google ·

Signal is testing a feature that lets Android users link a second device to their account without needing a separate phone number. The beta release allows the same account to be used on multiple devices, addressing a long-standing user request. This update simplifies multi-device usage while maintaining end-to-end encryption.

Meridian48 take
Signal's move to decouple accounts from phone numbers is overdue but welcome, though the beta rollout means it may be months before all users benefit.
