Users can choose between a free tier (100MB text storage, 45 days media backup) or paid subscription ($1.99/month for 100GB media and unlimited text history). The feature uses device-generated 64-character recovery keys and is currently available in Android beta, with iOS and desktop support planned. ## Content Signal has introduced a new secure backup feature, enhancing its privacy-focused messaging app with the ability to save encrypted archives of user conversations. This opt-in feature allows users to recover their chat history if their phone is lost or damaged while preserving the privacy and security of their data. The secure backups employ end-to-end encryption, supported by a unique 64-character recovery key that is generated on the user's device. This key ensures that only the user can access their backed-up data, reinforcing Signal’s commitment to privacy through zero-knowledge technology. This approach ensures that backups cannot be linked to specific users. Signal’s secure backups feature comes with two tiers. The free tier allows users to store 100MB of text messages and includes 45 days of media backup. For those who require more extensive storage, Signal offers a paid subscription at $1.99 per month. This premium plan extends media backup capacity to 100GB and includes an unlimited archive of text message history, catering to the needs of users with larger volumes of data. Currently, the feature is available in the Android beta, with upcoming plans to roll out support for iOS and desktop platforms, providing broad accessibility to Signal’s user base. By introducing this feature, Signal continues to emphasize its privacy-first philosophy while offering flexible options to accommodate different user needs. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/privacy), [#encryption](https://daily.dev/tags/encryption) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/signal-launches-secure-backup-options-for-enhanced-privacy-bewuclapt) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Signal Launches Secure Backup Options for Enhanced Privacy","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/signal-launches-secure-backup-options-for-enhanced-privacy-bewuclapt","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/signal-launches-secure-backup-options-for-enhanced-privacy-bewuclapt"},"datePublished":"2025-09-08T17:46:01.181Z","dateModified":"2025-09-08T19:03:41.644Z","description":"Signal introduces secure backup functionality with end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge technology.
