Remember when the CIA recommended using Signal (quote on blog)?
That was fun.
Signal just launched paid backups designed by Facebook's former surveillance architect. The same company that stored desktop keys in plaintext for 6 years now wants $1.99/month to store your messages on their servers.
How long until there’s a leak of the newly centralized data?
I use Disappearing Messages set to 4 weeks.

Session is also great for stuff like that, their nodes don't store things for more than a few weeks.
Session is not private. Go with SimpleX
You are sponso SimpleX or What ?
Lol I'm just a guy who study
Anyway I will address you why Session is a shit:

Always found them kinda fishy and the cats certainly out of the bag since their mobilecoin scam..
Fuck Signal. SimpleX is the best.
Simplex require your phone to be on the same network as your computer to work on desktop. This make simplex annoying to use.
I figured out a solution to this "problem" a long time ago (before LAN sync even existed).
I have two accounts, SimpleX-Linux and SimpleX-GrapheneOS. For each contact, I create a chat where I add my two device accounts, and the person I'm chatting with does the same.
I name the chats in this format: "Russell<->TheFuzzStone", and I don't need to sync via LAN.
Simple and it works. :)
I've never trusted its privacy, but it's a much better experience than SMS.
