First of all: there will definitely be a free tier.
Where did you see that confirmed?
Second: local backup will most likely still be an option.
Uhhhh I mean I would assume?
Why do people always hate on new features? Just don’t use them if you don’t want to
No one is “hating” on this. We’re just asking legitimate questions that any other consumer might ask, and suggesting existing solutions for those who don’t want to wait 7 years for Signal to eventually implement this feature.
My bad… It wasn’t supposed to sound that aggressive.
And to be honest: there is no confirmation for a free tier but I strongly believe (and hope) so because most people nowadays assume everything to be free and if they see Signal not having a free backup plan everyone would go
aAhHhHHHhH they are so greedy i thought they are a non-profit.
(I mean people who don’t care about privacy and only use signal because their privay-aware friends told them to)
Can someone explain use case for me? I assume it's for folks who don't autodelete messages and want the encryption and non-spying but the same chat 'archive' of other apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?
Yaaaay, that’s the last big thing I was looking for
Wow 1TB is a lot of storage. I think my backups are ~1Gb so it might be nice to have some tiers in the middle for those on a budget. At the same time, a lot of those media files are gifs and memes 😄
I send a lot of voice and video messages to friends and family. I think it was about 10GB when I did a transfer to a new phone last year, so I’m glad there are larger storage options.
