@ljean @WellKnownAlias @signalapp The person having to deal with one more app is the problem, not the company removing features with fundamentally broken security.

@signalapp What are you thinking? This is terrible. Wrong choice. Make them different colors or something. Way easier.

@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 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

@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.

@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?

@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?

@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.

@signalapp This is terrible.

@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/

@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 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 removing SMS support is such a terrible decision, what to use now? @session_app - please implement?
