Molly-like multi device support? #87

Closed alexaka1 closed 9 months ago

alexaka1 commented 9 months ago

This got merged not long ago into Molly PR.

Are there any plans to integrate something similar? Molly allows linking a fresh install as a device without registering.

johanw666 commented 9 months ago

This requires quite a lot of changes, I don't have time now to maintain this functionality.

alexaka1 commented 9 months ago

Would #83 be something similar? Not linking a device directly, but simply restoring a backup without re-registering.

johanw666 commented 9 months ago

It is something I intend to do eventually. However it can ony be done with a full backup, not with a Signal style backup because that misses information like gms tokens.
