I find the UI/UX of Signal to be good enough that I used it as my default messaging app, even though I only have a few contacts who use(d) Signal.

It took until Oreo/Pie for the stock messaging app to become equally good or better, and by then none of my contacts bothered with using Signal anymore. It's now 0% Signal, 0.1% text messages, 0.1% WhatsApp, 99.8% FB Messenger, which is really depressing.

You can't export chats on Signal iOS, which sucks.
What does it mean to "export chats" and why would you want to do it?
1. Switch to a new phone. 2. Want to find something previously messaged to someone. Say, a link. Or find dates of something. 3. Cannot.
It's about when you get a new phone. You can't move your Signal conversations to the new phone.
