Restoring a local Signal backup doesn’t let you use the same profile on multiple accounts, it forces older profiles to deregister. Try it.

Signal allows just 1 device at a time, and you need to register by phone number. Unless you use their tablet mode which stores data on server… Maybe check out other projects without such requirement?

Even with rooting (to the dismay of GrapheneOS PR team, so sad), Signal will not backup or restore properly since it uses Strongbox, so you cannot clone it amongst profiles or users. Thank the Titan chip for that. Legit a good thing, except it your case.

Just don’t use Signal.
