Unable to transfer Signal account from my iPad to my new iPhone

[anjan1212]

Hi,

I had an iphone 11 pro max & an ipad pro 11in, both updated to the newest version of iOS.

I got a new iphone 12, and factory reset my iphone 11. However, I still have my full signal account running on my iPad pro 11in.

I'm trying to transfer my chat history from my signal account on my ipad pro to my new iphone 12.

However, when I try to make the transfer, I get an error message,

"To transfer your account, you must scan with your iPhone"

What do I do?

Just guessing here - could it be possible that you will need to enable camera access for Signal app in the configuration of the new iPhone? However, in that case I would expect corresponding explanation in the text of the error message. Anyway - maybe this helps...

It looks like this is a duplicate of #4558

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Signal needs to respond, it is still relevant.
