When I use signal on my phone it works ok. But, occasionally I need to use it on my PC. Basically every time I start it on pc, it requires updating and repairing with my phone.

As a result, I do not have access to the history of my chats.

For me, this makes signal unusable.

What do I do wrong?

    The standard signal desktop client needs to connect every 30 days, or it will rotate through its keys needing to be reconnected.

    Molly for Android, will allow you to run multiple signal instances on multiples Android devices, that might be an option.

    You could use a beeper extension, to access signal through matrix on your computer.

    If you just need to be able to pass messages between your computer and phone, you could use session, but I don’t know your use case

            Correct. That’s why in my original post, I said depending on your use case, if you just need to pass messages between your phone and your computer, it could be sufficient for you.
