I’m trying to use signal on two profiles of my grapheneos phone. I’m already aware signal only allows one device per account, so I’ve been trying to use the Molly fork, which allows me to connect as a linked device. However, when I switch profiles and try to link it just doesn’t work. Does anyone have any solutions? This is really important to me.
EDIT: for anyone interested this is the only possible solution without rooting. Since grapheneos resets your internet after every profile switch it’s not possible to do this with internet. You must have a sim card with cell data. Once you toggle off your wifi and vpn, the whole process should work fine. (You still need another device to take a photo of the qr code with). Also the qr code expires so be quick. Also official signal app doesn’t seem to work, so I would use Molly.
I just tried with the official signal client, and I don’t think there’s a way to do it without transferring the account to another device. The second app must remain open while the first app scans the code, so while it’s possible in a private space, I think profiles are too isolated to run both at once. I’d be happy to be proven otherwise, but from what I can tell, it’s not possible on one device alone. I’d imagine Molly is the same.
