>Only one desktop/computer can be linked to Signal desktop.
Absolutely not the case. I've got 2 at the moment, right now. Had 4 running when I had 4 computers I was using.
>Can't move from iOS to Android (and vice versa) without losing your chat history because backups aren't compatible.
Yeah, this is a real pain which I wish they had solved years ago. For personal reasons my daughter has her old android phone with our Signal messages on it, as it's the only way she can keep them as far as we're aware at the moment. It was a pain when I moved from Android to iOS for this reason.
>Can't automatically save pictures to Picture Roll, Google Drive, Dropbox for integration with your other pictures.
I would think this is by design. Signal is designed to be private.
>why can't they try to at least match WhatsApp in core functionality
I would imagine 'funding' and 'privacy' cover a lot of it.

Thanks for the correction. It seems up to 5 desktops can be linked at least since 5 years, which is odd because I recall this not working or at least causing the old device to unlink.
