@AshishDdavidd @signalapp Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted. They also store ALL of your messages on their server, forever. Go to the Telegram website and login. It's all there, unencrypted.

Signal @signalapp doesn't have to say no nothing on privacy & security AT all as long as they use 100% spoofable phone numbers as login ids same goes on @telegram as long as you idiоts require phone number rather than p2p human-human interaction for user verification .

Dear @signalapp please retain sms support. It will drive all the non-technical users, your fans help(ed) gain, away from the app. We won't continue the free marketing if the product sucks.

@signalapp I can appreciate your motivation for disabling SMS: one huge issue is that I have people install Signal but they don't see my messages because they don't get notified. Please help with setup or messaging after install so I can make sure they'll see my messages to them.

@signalapp Why is Signal not working in Uzbekistan? We were unable to register a new account because we did not receive a verification code

Removing SMS support from Signal Android @signalapp Terrible idea. Please don't do this!! I use signal as my primary messaging app and love it. But most people I know don't use signal, several do though and it's a nice solution for secure messaging. Don't stop serving us

@signalapp Terrible idea. Time to stop using Signal. Bummer, I really liked it for the friends who had it.

@Matzan481_ @WKCosmo @signalapp Nah the main issue is that different groups of friends insist on different methods of communication. Like I'm not installing 5 different apps *and* maintaining regular (non-data) phone credit/bills. First one to interface with all the others - encrypted or not - wins me for life

@signalapp I have had many people send me their proxy addresses to publicize, but all addresses have stopped being accepted (including my own, which is still running but no longer works in the app) is there are different address format needed for iOS? Or another issue?

Reason #4 to use @signalapp: The only way they make money off of you is if you let them. In other words, if you choose to donate funds to further improve the service and app.

@signalapp Now I need an app for friends and family that use signal, and another app for all the other messages I get from apps, services, my kid's school... What a pain in the arse. This is a terrible move. I'll be looking for a different solution than signal.

@signalapp @mer__edith Would you please fix the abysmal blurry mess that comes out when sending videos from the iOS client? It's been a long time coming. Videos sent from either Android or desktop client come out just fine.

@jamiedyer_ @signalapp Same, now I have to apologize to everyone I've gotten to install and use Signal as their default texting app on android, and will probably need to help most of them migrate their sms data back so they don't lose all of those conversations... what a pain...

@signalapp Terrible move, now everyone is going to drop signal. Seriously a bummer. Anyone know a new service that can do private chats and sms in one app?

Hi @signalapp I have switched to Signal some time ago but I have been facing a major issue. I am not receiving any notification until I open the app. I have giving unrestricted access to background activity and everything else. Device : Asus ROG Phone 5 (Andorid 12) plz help!

@signalapp I am deleting your app if you go through with this. This is a boneheaded, dumbass move motivated by saving money on development costs and customer service headaches. I dont an app where I can message only two people on my contacts list. That's a useless fricking app

"We are not going to compromise... state actors [try], to break encryption for their purposes, without understanding .. If encryption is broken, it is broken. If Signal doesn’t keep its privacy promises, then there is no real point for us to exist." Tino pai, kia kaha @signalapp

@signalapp Such a shame. Any chance you'll reconsider? Moving everything to a different app is going to be a pain. You are definitely shutting down a path to gaining more users

@mer__edith your decision (and reasonsings) to stop supporting signal as a default android SMS provider in addition to your secure chat is misguided, short-sighted, and a truly terrible development. Will reduce adoption and does nothing to encourage more security @signalapp
