Moving SIGNAL from iPhone to Android: How to export all chats with media?
question is in the title. I already found out that it is close to impossible to export all chats from iPhone to Android. Could it be possible via https://github.com/carderne/signal-export? Is there any other possibility (even third party app)?

Using iOS Signal and have a desktop computer? Install and run Signal Desktop - this will let you back up messages from that point forward
This export utility worked for me on Linux (it's also supposed to work with Windows and MacOS but I haven't tested it).

Does anyone know how to export from the old (pre-2018) Signal Chrome extension?
I found a wonderful repository ( https://github.com/carderne/signal-export/ ) that supports exporting from modern desktop! But, I have some old old old laptops I'd like to repurpose, but I don't want to lose my old old old messages.

backup Solution for IOS?
I only stumbled across backing up the Desktop Version to markdown files. It worked nicely for me: https://github.com/carderne/signal-export (You will have to use the Terminal though)

Extracting WhatsApp Messages from an iOS Backup
This [0] (I made this) will let you get your messages out into Markdown/HTML + attachments, but I'm pretty sure there's no way to get them back onto your phone yet.

Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
> I'm confused at what is stopping you from doing this?
As far as I know the backup is encrypted.
> Are you not able to import these backups into the desktop client?
No, the desktop client is not standalone, and ONLY syncs with the a phone to get content. Moreover, if you don't use the client for a period (2-3 weeks in my experience?) it de-syncs that desktop client. Re-connecting that desktop to your phone will only sync messages starting as-of the connection, so there's no way to get the desktop app to pull your whole history. (This is another gripe I have about their sacrifice of actual usability for security that only helps a few very specific use-cases.)
You're probably rigth about hacking something together. Someone has created a library [0] allegedly for decoding the backup files. Friday night is D&D night though, so I haven't had the chance. :-)

SMS Export is now live *in beta* in Android 5.52
The backups are using protobuf, I use https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode to decode the backup file. You end up with a sqlite database and some files. Afterwards, I run queries via nodejs against sqlite to produce the HTML, that is a bit quick and dirty at the moment and not open source so far.

Decrypt backup for court case
You can also try https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode, the author is active (replied to issues 12 days ago). On the previous repository, the author appears to be inactive (I should have checked, my bad).

.backup file
I use signal-backup-decode to explore my backups, but that's a command line tool that decrypts the backup with the secret key and exports the actual content as a database and a set of files for images, attachments, etc.

I need to get 800k messages from signal into plaintext on my computer and signal-back doesn't work, maybe because of the size or because it's been abandoned. What are my options?
I'm not sure I can help, but can you update your post with more info? Does the official backup give you an error? You should be able to back up and then copy the files to your computer and use a tool like this to decode into plain text.
-
Max limit for plain text export?
That should work with signal. There are tools to decrypt the backup and access the database. For example this: https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode
