@signalapp@mastodon.world 🤔
I was under the assumption that there is a one-to-one relationship between any Signal account and a phone number, in difference to e.g. Matrix and Threema. And I somehow believed altering a phone number would not restore user data (unless I restore it from backup, on my device). I'd much appreciate some more information on when/how data and keys are transferred where.

@derfopps@digitalcourage.social @signalapp@mastodon.world you can transfer your account to a new number, in case you change your phone number and want to retain your chat history and contacts.
