@whatsabschalten @signalapp If my signal messages were secure before, then there was no reason to remove SMS support. If they weren't secure then there are much larger issues. I'm not going to be an unpaid sales rep and beg everyone I know to switch. Therefore, I'm in two apps all day.

@signalapp You mean like how it was easy to get people to try signal when you still had sms support and they didn't have to use 2 separate messaging apps? Quit being stubborn asshats and fix this

@signalapp This seems targeted towards people creating larger groups….that’s why I ask. Small groups don’t need to create QR codes. Is Signal moving towards a social media function? Are you considering the privacy and security issues involved with a move like that?

.@signalapp dropping SMS support has to be one of the dumbest decisions ever. The whole reason people use it is to replace their standard texting app with an encrypted service. There are already a million other messenger apps.

@signalapp Hi @signalapp I am unable to use the app since few weeks. Earlier I was unable to login in iPhone as unable to enter passcode and used to get forced out. After login, again app forced me to re login and now not able to login as data retrieving getting stuck again and again !

@signalapp Don't you think fellas that signal lost its half users when they stopped supporting SMS services? Well, it was a cool service and i used to love it though. Honestly, had a great time with signal those days back! Now, back to Google SMS.

@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 Hi, I wanted to ask you, if some people have terrible OPSEC, can be the contents of the Signal app read by other apps (that are not malware), when they are open at the same time, or even if they are not (like TikTok for example)? And is it possible when Signal app is unlocked?

@signalapp swipe down to filter is not a good feature, please stop. Swiping down is usually reserved for refreshing, reloading, not making all my messages go away.

@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

@whatsabschalten @signalapp Well, signal is a better app for sure. Yes, theres Google message installed by default. But the service which signal was providing was fantastic and every user got used to it.I'm not telling that now it's bad. Well, it's good in its own terms.But,by removing this they lost users.

@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

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.

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'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.

@signalapp is getting rid of SMS support for non Signal users. Anyone else have a recommendation on a privacy preserving messaging service? Shame @Signalapp.
