Encrypted messaging app Signal now lets you transfer your account data, including your conversation history, to a new iPhone or iPad from your existing iOS device. The feature rolled out in the app’s version 3.9.1 update last week , but the company formally announced the new feature in a blog post published on Tuesday , which also outlines the steps of how the process works. “This is the first time that upgrading to a new device without losing any information has been possible on iOS,” according to Signal. The new procedure is an attempt to find a balance between comfort and security. The process works via a QR code which generates your new device and analyzes your old device. The devices then establish a direct Wi-Fi connection (or Bluetooth if Wi-Fi is not available) and transfer your data over your local network without the data passing through the cloud of the third-party server. Because the transfer is done locally, even large transfers can be made quickly, says Signal.
