    Signal doesn’t sync previous history so only new messages since linking are affected. I guess sending notifications to previous devices about link status would be helpful.

    Last I checked linked devices could only be computers, and linking didn’t involve phone numbers at all, so sim cloning and sms interception shouldn’t work, only qr linking, but I’m not sure that still is the case

      Understatement of the year.
