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.

    In my experience the qr thing doesn’t work on WiFi. Maybe that’s just my device I don’t know. Also local backups worked for me, because I used a usb flash drive

      Well that’s cool that local backups worked. I also bsck up to a USB flash drive so good to know. So you still haven’t been able to link your profiles? That’s so weird
