Hi @signalapp, There is something odd going on with app, and has been for several months. If I contact iOS Signal users - not a problem. But if I contact Android Signal users, some times I get one tick on the message. 1/2

@signalapp You need to fix your metadata issues and use of email and/or phone number; I'm sticking with Threema and Session for the time being...

So, what SMS app are folks using now that @signalapp has decided to make their terrible decision? Looking for suggestions.

@wint_rmute @signalapp That's a good start. I still think this is a terrible idea.

@WimminsRea @signalapp I haven’t noticed anything, sorry, but someone said Twitter wasn’t the only thing out so there might be a bigger problem.

@BukhaledAUH @signalapp #signalapp @signalapp It is still the ONLY way to chat with 100% of my friends and family. Any other service gives <10%. We understand the concerns, and if Apple ever concedes and supports RCS, then we'll be happy to swap SMS. Until then, Signal needs to just keep it.

@signalapp Please fix sharing for iOS. It has been broken for the longest time and the recent update made it worse. When you share from - say - Twitter it now takes three attempts. The first one hangs (that's the new problem), the 2nd crashes and the 3rd finally works

@signalapp I have a problem with transfer data from android to android. It stops at 98, 3%. I tried everything. Reboot. Restore backup. Nothing works.

Lord @signalapp customer service is the worst/nonexistent. Don’t run an app like this if you do not have the resources to live up to what you’ve said your app can be used for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lord @signalapp ‘s customer service is the worst. How is “wait til the next update whenever that is” a remotely acceptable response when I’ve explained what it is I do for a living lol. What a joke.

@signalapp any known issues preventing use in Costa Rica. I will be there soon and would like to stay away from WhatsApp (which is heavily promoted), if possible

either @signalapp's regional servers were down for a bit just now, or signal traffic was blocked

(@DaleMacLean1) reported
@signalapp as a long time signal user. I'm disappointed to know signal no longer will offer sms service. Signal thinks that doing this may encourage more to switch to signal. 1% to 10% of people that will swap to signal. Sadly i will have to go back to a different provider.

@signalapp removing SMS support is not going to help privacy when you lose a huge portion of your user base! And your rationale about "hidden costs" is a red herring - people already had those costs. Poor decision.

@signalapp I thought you guys would have changed your minds and "kept" the sms ability in your app. Otherwise I really do hope someone's able to fork the entire service with the old sms + encrypted capabilities

@EdHerdman @signalapp we have very different experiences all my business, family, and friend connections use signal by preference, with sms as a nuisance legacy issue, often only for dealing with mfa requirements by other apps i haven't sent an "actual" sms message in years

@EncryptedFeta @signalapp Of course we recognise the Kurds. There is no Kurdish problem in Turkey today. Kurds have all the rights that Turks have. But some Kurds want to have an independent Kurdistan in the east of Turkey and therefore they are separatists, it is these Kurds that we do not recognise.

.@signalapp You're making an error dropping SMS support. I've converted at least 100 people to Signal off of SMS to secure their messaging with ZERO impact to their habits. Now you're forcing them back to SMS app? They are going to quit using signal. No one wants to use two apps.

@_Stralor @signalapp @doctorow SMS bot exploitation is a real thing. It costs companies trying to run a secure, honest service pretty hefty sums, especially if they’re utilising affordable alternatives that don’t have bells and whistles. Like, say, a nonprofit might.

@doctorow @devtrevjournals @signalapp right, they addressed this aspect, which I still argue feels like a rug pull. it's their UX issue to solve, and they've thrown in the towel on it to users' detriment
