Signal in Admin and Daily profiles?

intimeandplace

Hi all,
New user here. I just set up a daily user profile, to use in place of my admin profile. When I went to open Signal on the daily profile, it asked me to set up Signal and transfer it from my old device. Did I mess up by signing into Signal on the admin profile? How do I activate it on the daily profile when its already active on the Admin one?

intimeandplace you can't. For mobile devices, Signal can only be set up once as a main account. Desktop devices and tablets can be linked, but not phones. You will have to decide which profile you want to keep Signal on.

n3t_admin this allows you to use the same Signal account on other android devices, including GrapheneOS profiles. https://molly.im/

n3t_admin will you get notifications of signal on other profiles?

FreePalestine yes, but the setup is not that easy (time sensitive).

n3t_admin if either of you need tips on how to do it successfully, I can share.

FreePalestine I don't, but I think the community would benefit from a short guide right in this post :)

Lake05 You need to enable Send notifications to the current user option.
Settings - System - User it is at the bottom.
You need to enable it for all the profiles you want to receive notifications including the owner profile.

Example

Owner profile(let's call this profile1) - Whatsapp installed and send notification option enabled.
First user/secondary profile(same but it's profile2) - Signal installed and send notification option disabled.
Second user/secondary profile(profile3) - You are here.

Now, when someone text you on Whatsapp, you receive a GrapheneOS notification that says Notification from Whatsapp for Profile1 along with a button that says Switch to Profile1 to quickly go to that profile.The notification won't have any other text like the contact name or the message. You need to swith to profile1 to see who texted you.
For Signal, only way to know whether you recevied any text or not is to switch to the profile(here it's profile2), because the send notification option is disabled on that profile.
