@ljean @WellKnownAlias @signalapp The person complaining about having to deal with one more app that they can't even remove from their phone is the problem, not the company removing features with fundamentally broken security.

@signalapp This is a terrible idea and should not be done, most of the users i message with only installed Signal because I told them it could replace their garbage default sms app!

@signalapp terrible, terrible decision, i most likely wont be able to use signal for most of my texts anymore, and most of my normal friends will probably move to some other insecure app the moment they see this

@signalapp I guess you're about to find out how much of the reason you're the "most widely used private messaging service on the planet" is because you allow people to just open and send without thinking about whether this particular person will get the message as Signal or SMS.

@signalapp Interesting that some users have problems differentiating between SMS and Signal messaging after THE USER personally set Signal as their *default* SMS app. List of UI/UX features Signal has to communicate privacy status: 1. Different colored message bubbles for signal vs. sms

@signalapp Uhh what the actual. I have real problems already communicating with people who are on iphone, this makes it just that much worse. Please don't make me move away from signal!!

@signalapp It's a terrible idea! I barely get any SMS from humans, but i can't get rid of SMS from my mobile service provider and other services. My main struggle with friends is to agree on one messenger, because nobody wants to use multiple apps.

@AndrewNowlin @signalapp Which means that it was a problem they tried to tackle but it is not realistic or good use of their limited resources to keep the development of said features

@signalapp This sucks. This is going to cause me a great deal of trouble dealing with my non-technical friends and family. I don't see any reason to do this. I'm perfectly capable of understanding which messages are encrypted and which are not.

@signalapp This is a terrible call IMO. This is going to kill adoption and utilization. And for what? What’s the end goal with this decision?

@BTC_Ninjas @signalapp Yes? I think there is sufficient indicators with the lock icons. If you wanted to make that more obvious, you could solve this problem without neutering the software.

@markus_ottela @WellKnownAlias @signalapp Exactly! Usability problems will be exacerbated not addressed by this terrible user-hostile decision!

@markus_ottela @aikensource @signalapp Sadly, being elitist does not help "normal" people transition to secure apps such as Signal.

@signalapp SMS is a legacy service that is STILL not going anywhere.. even if everyone on planet earth gets an iPhone SMS would still be used in low key ways. #DeleteSignal

@signalapp I get some of the underlying logic and technical hurdles here, but this is an absolutely terrible idea that will drive people away from Signal in droves.

@signalapp I'm having a problem signing up for the app, it's saying Network request failed when trying to send the verification text. Have enabled all permissions, network signal is strong, app is up to date. Any help appreciated please?

@tuzgai @olmaverick @signalapp Plus now I get extra headache because "that message application I have installed and told them that it is great is not working anymore when their delivery driver SMSed them to be ready for pickup" (probable scenario which can happen to me). Deprecating core feature sucks

@CircuitSwan @signalapp Glad to see others that supported @signalapp having the same problems with this decision. I had been on a $3 a month donation plan for nearly 2 years but that ended today. I hate to do it but I can't justify donating. I may be dedicated to privacy but those I talk to aren't.

(@easoncxz) reported
@signalapp Why are people mad at this? If your friend isn't using Signal, Signal supporting SMS doesn't help anything; if your friend uses Signal, then this is irrelevant to you. In either case, you continue to use Signal. Just use the default SMS app to send SMS. What's the problem?

CloudHead
(@cloudnewz) reported
@ljean @signalapp Yep. Think think of SMS as a kind of loss-leader. There will be a period when a portion of users will use non-secure features, but at a point, a critical mass will be reached. Make it something people can use as their default messaging service and people more people will adopt.1/
