Product update: universal backup for seamless, secure recovery across all your devices

At Wire, we know how important it is to stay connected securely and seamlessly, no matter what device you’re on. That’s why we’re introducing Universal Backup - a simple way to back up your conversations on one platform and restore them on any other, whether that’s iOS, Android, or Web/Desktop.

What's New?

Until now, backups could only be restored on the same platform - for example, an iOS backup could only be restored on another iOS device.

With Universal Backup, your conversation history moves with you.

That means:

• Backed up on Android? Restore on iOS or Desktop - easy.
• Saved it on Desktop? Pick up right where you left off on your phone.

Switching devices or recovering after a hiccup is now simpler and smoother than ever.

Your privacy, fully protected

As always with Wire, privacy comes first. Your history remains end-to-end encrypted. Only you hold the keys. We never see or store your content, ensuring your privacy stays uncompromised while your experience becomes even more seamless.

Why it matters

With universal backup, you can:

• Easily switch devices or upgrade without losing history.
• Recover conversations if your device is lost or replaced.
• Keep your experience consistent and uninterrupted across platforms.

Your privacy stays uncompromised while your experience becomes much more seamless.
