This was my original proposal, but my friend is worried about messing up their Signal acc that could render it useless (they've seen me brick my laptop while installing Linux Mint...)
(They use signal on a phone, but want to use their android tablet and worried about messing up the linking device part)
molly (a signal fork) allows linking phones and tablets as secondary devices
I use Molly as my main app for Signal!! (I don't use GMS), but considering it's the most "tech noob friendly" option I've seen, I might get my friend to do that for their Android tablet
The Android tablet makes it a deal-breaker. You cannot use a Signal account from multiple Android or iOS devices without using a 3rd-party client like Molly.
