I’m trying to use signal on two profiles of my grapheneos phone. I’m already aware signal only allows one device per account, so I’ve been trying to use the Molly fork, which allows me to connect as a linked device. However, when I switch profiles and try to link it just doesn’t work. Does anyone have any solutions? This is really important to me.

    If you have two seperate profiles on GrapheneOS, any apps inside the profile would generally assume it’s running on a completely seperate device. If the app was malicious it could technically tell that it’s installed on the same phone, but Signal is not. Using Signal across two profiles would be effectively the same as using Signal across two different phones.

      So it should work like it does with my tablet and phone. One being the primary the main profile/phone and the other being secondary side profile/tablet.

        You punctuated your reply as a statement but phrased it as a question… but yes, it should just function as any other secondary device.
