There's a backup function. You can set it to run at certain intervals. I included it in my syncthing sync so I have a backup of my whole signal whenever I run syncthing.

I just looked it up, and they say backup isn't possible on iOS.

It was "on the roadmap" as of 4 years ago…

…but there's been no apparent progress.

On some core usability & functionality matters, Signal appears to be a really, really, lethargic development team, both before and after the arrival in early 2018 of $50 million in funding.

Which previously made sense when the file system was basically untouchable by end users. But with files/ios13 it makes no sense at all.

Ah, my bad. It works on Android which is all I've ever used it on.
