The most disappointing part about @signalapp's "solution" is that this was a business *opportunity*. If these costs are indeed high then they are in a perfect market position to arbitrage the MMS fees by charging for a Google Voice-like service that proxies data <-> MMS.

@GoAwayWithJae @signalapp I'm having this same problem. I really wish signal didn't do this. It's so much of a hassle.

Annoyed that @signalapp is dropping SMS service. Why?

@mer__edith @signalapp It will wreak havoc throughout the user base, forcing them to manage their messages between two apps, creating problems in the exportation process, losing their texting history, etc., and what if Signal brings back sms support later? Knowing what happened no one's gonna come back

@KyydSyyd @signalapp I meant as a one-stop texting service (e.g. people have your cell phone & use that to text). For my cell, I had the choice of my SMS app or Signal, but not both. I like Signal, but the only people who use it are about 10 people (in my life). Other people don't want to use it.

@signalapp Hello, I proceeded to use the SMS export to transfer all SMS to other messaging app. I had important notes stored in draft messages and those drafts were lost 😭 I can still see a portion/preview in the main messages list but they're not there when open the chat. Help?

@signalapp Yeah, do you know how many of us have iphone users as family members who refuse to get a other messaging app. They all think I'm the crazy one for not getting on apple. I think you're making a huge mistake and now I have to look for a new messenger service. So thanks.

@signalapp This is a terrible call, and i'd encourage you to consider alternatives. Colour coding for secure and non secure messages as suggested below would be good

@signalapp Looks like I won't be using signal for much any more. It was already difficult with iPhone users. This greatly decreases usability and is a terrible idea.

@signalapp You're hiring to fix the issue with SMS so we can keep using Signal..... right? Otherwise, you're hiring people to build an app many are going to abandon when you stop working with SMS.

@GiulioFranco2 @signalapp yes but they're a non profit so they have no reason to sell your data cause they're a service powered by donations not a product from a for-profit company

@naomibrockwell @signalapp It sounds like some people in power in the US government don't want people to help out Iranians anymore. They might have particular interests and incentives to spy out on Iran right now 🔥🚀

@GiulioFranco2 @ExplorerRocha @signalapp Yeah, the open source server mostly helps spinning a complete fork of the service if it one day goes down. But Signal isn't designed to have small silos of users (think Mumble), as that makes very little sense nowadays.

@signalapp I've read the blog post and I don't think you've made a good case for this. Maybe you're not telling the whole story? It mostly seems like this is a UI issue that could be solved. What's the point of this app, if you make this change?

(@MarshallApplew5) reported
@mer__edith @signalapp Signal's user base isn't nearly large enough to make a change like this go over the way you guys seem to be trying to pretend it's going to. I imagine the 20 or so contacts of mine who I could previously rely on to check Signal messages, will be down to <10 soon.

Is there an issue with the App, @signalapp? App is up-to-date and it keeps crashing when I try to open it.

@mkarolian @signalapp I haven't looked recently but as of about 2 years ago signal was the most private out of all the encrypted messaging services. Apps like WhatsApp have master keys available to the service provider

@signalapp I got my tech averse mother to use signal because it just worked. And while she used sms for every other contact and had no idea the difference, my communications with her were secure. Now I have to go fix my mom's phone over Christmas. Shame on you.

@nonstandardrep @signalapp Google Messages now supports end-to-end encryption if when you go into Settings > Chat Features > Enable Chat Features. This turns it into an OTT service via RCS so long as both sender and receiver have this. Apparently they're soft-launching encrypted group messages as well.

@signalapp oh no. Today I got the information that SMS support will end. It's very sad, it was a big pro for #signal-app to manage all using one messenger. I also have now the problem to help my parents (>80 years) to send signal messages with one app and SMS with another app.

Set up Android Messages for SMS/RCE with @signalapp separated over the weekend. What a terrible user experience. Why on earth Signal threw out the best user experience is beyond my understanding and #privacy was not improved with this setup.

@mer__edith @signalapp @mer__edith This is such a terrible decision. This will effectively reduce security in the general community by forcing most people to revert back to their built-in msging app, including myself who's working in infosec.

@signalapp Almost everyone I know who uses Signal will refuse to use 2 messaging apps with some friends and family on one and the rest on the other. This is a terrible decision.
