(Pocket-lint) – If you’re a Signal user, you may have noticed that changing your phone number on your account erases all your existing chats, groups and messages. Well, that is now a thing of the past. Signal has rolled out a new feature, called Switch Number, which allows you to switch numbers without losing all your data in the secure messaging app.

Is there anything you need to know about Signal’s change number feature?
