  • Christo98052309 Christoph (@Christo98052309) reported

    @signalapp This is just a terrible idea. That was the main draw for me and best reason to offer others to switch by not adding another messaging app, but replacing the system's OS app. Rethink this pls.

  • KodyKinzie Kody (@KodyKinzie) reported

    @signalapp I read all of your reasons and I think a big "disable SMS messages" option would fix this without ******* up the way people have used your app for years.

  • yorotpidus yoro (@yorotpidus) reported

    @anAamAadmi @signalapp Well, the source code is open source, so anyone can package and deploy it. Also the branding isn't infringing, so maybe it isn't a problem. Although, the tall claims are meh...

  • AaronToponce Aaron Toponce ⚛️ (@AaronToponce) reported

    @TychoTithonus @signalapp Maybe the problem isn't Signal supporting SMS, but the false evangelical argument: you can use both SMS and Signal in one app on Android. Where instead, the argument should have been: we need to stop using insecure SMS.

  • Mondei1 Mondei1️⃣ (@Mondei1) reported

    @signalapp I fully unterstand why SMS is terrible. I rarely use it because some contacts have nothing else. As a developer I also understand to depreciate features that do not fulfill your goal. Yet I like the idea of Signal being All-in-One. Both for modern and legacy communication.

  • EnvisionBitcoin Envision ⚡️🔑 (@EnvisionBitcoin) reported

    @signalapp Unless you're removing phone numbers, there's literally no reason to remove SMS from the android app. If people can't figure out that one bubble and a gray send button are SMS, and 2 bubbles and a blue send button is encrypted, they have bigger problems.......

  • l3rock Brock (@l3rock) reported

    @signalapp This is the only way I got people to use signal. This is a terrible and unfortunate decision.

  • DamselflyPhotos Damselfly - Free Photo library software 📷 (@DamselflyPhotos) reported

    @ElJefeDSecurIT @signalapp It's literally an option already, disabled by default. If you want to use signal for SMS, you have to configure it explicitly and then set it as the default SMS client for Android. The problem is that Signal can't (be arsed to) design the UI to separate SMS and encrypted msgs.

  • AaronToponce Aaron Toponce ⚛️ (@AaronToponce) reported

    @TychoTithonus @signalapp I don't fully agree with that stance though. Signal has only ever supported SMS/MMS on Android. With iOS, you have to use separate apps, and with my *mother* not having a problem with it, in addition to other family members, it's not a usability problem for them.

  • RichFellows Richard Fellows (@RichFellows) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp No issues with that today on iOS.

  • wwahammy Eric Schultz (@wwahammy) reported

    @olmaverick @signalapp I'm sympathetic to that too. But, I don't remember anything changing in that area for a long time. So is this an intractable problem? I'm skeptical it is.

  • gipsyskov Kim Sørensen (@gipsyskov) reported

    @signalapp I have to say that this is major let down for me! I love having access to signal and SMS in one app and it means that I actually use signal a lot more. But when you decide to split this up, I have to follow convenience and demote Signal, as most of my contacts still use SMS

  • B_Boutillier 🇺🇦 Bertrand B. (@B_Boutillier) reported

    @AnonyPla @interchu @signalapp I implore too ! This is the best idea to kill the app ... it was a really useful function to promote the application to people not aware of privacy problems. They'll go back to WhatsApp and co. ...

  • Metr0pl3x MetropleX (@Metr0pl3x) reported

    @signalapp Have to say while I understand and appreciate the motive, pragmatically as others have said it's a terrible move for adoption. I've managed to move OAPs onto Signal thanks to SMS integration. I have also appreciated the backup/restore of SMS as well as securing SMS OTP codes.

  • DedSecOfficial3 DedSec Official (@DedSecOfficial3) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible decision. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get people to switch to Signal? Now, the family members who I got to text me using Signal, are probably not going to use it anymore because they'll see this change as "too confusing" and "too much of a hassle."
