Transferred data to new phone - App won't open #5795
Comments
1.1.mp4 |
Old phone version was 7.6.1, new one was 7.8 - Automatically downloaded the latest version from the app store. |
Tried logging in on my old phone again, no messages there, but judging by the size of the data on my new phone, the data is surely there, I just cannot open the app. |
Same exact sequence for me. Transferred from old XS iOS 15.4.1, to a 15 Pro, iOS 17.4.1. Updated to latest Signal on both phones. |
Same exact results here. Changed from 11 to 15 Pro, both iOS 17.4.1 Data wiped on 11, transferred 6 GB to 15 Pro, but inaccessible. Wants to do a fresh install (asks for my phone number) when Signal is opened via App Store. |
I made my peace with losing the data and reinstalled. Quoting @fiveangle from the other issue linked above:
This is a major league fuck up, so unless one of the devs takes charge on fixing the important issues, we're SOL. |
No news on that? |
No I'm just fascinated how some genius thought it's a good idea to delete the original data without ensuring that the new copy of data is actually fucking valid.
I followed the procedure to do the transfer from an old device, waited an hour for the data to sync, old phone auto deleted everything, and here's what I'm left with:
Device info
Device: iPhone 15 Pro
iOS version: 17.4.1
Signal version: Can't open the app.
