I wonder if Signal should expose linked devices directly in the UI at all times. Something like a small icon that indicates "You have 3 linked devices active" or similar.
EDIT: Like an analytics based approach would probably be far more useful - popping up a confirmation for example if GeoIP shows a device is far removed from all the others, which for most people would be true unless they were traveling.
Showing a big snackbar when a new device is added is probably enough, especially if the app can detect there was no "action" on your phone that triggered it.
Key transparency, once rolled out, would help to ensure there is no lingering "bad" device around, but phishing will always be a problem.
A big... what?
Can you tell me what this new lingo is for someone who doesn't use the latest and shittiest marketing lingo?
It exists since Android 6: https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/m...
Informative banner that does not require user interaction to dismiss.
Is that what you call the words you don't understand?
Probably true...
