Agreed - I got a second phone and can't have Signal on both. It's a weird and off-putting limit that had me rethinking my use of Signal in general. Now I'm using Matrix with a Signal bridge, so the second device is a Matrix client. It's frustrating that messaging is so fractured. I feel like there's no go-to service that avoids lock-in and respects privacy.

Weird... I've had two generations of iPads with cellular, and Signal has worked for me, in linked mode, on both devices (both with and without a SIM present).

Maybe this is a bug that only affects certain models or something?

Strange. I have an iPad Pro with 4G data and tablet mode works fine.
