When you say you can't import/sync data from your phone - Couldn't you just decommission Signal Desktop from your phone, nuke the desktop installation, and reinstall from scratch?

Not to dismiss the annoyance involved. I'm just trying to understand what this bug is really about.

No, history is not transferred to "new" devices.

Oh that's right, it never was. But anyway, the phone still always has everything right?
