"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 This is terrible. I've been using signal for years, but I'm not going to be able to anymore. Please rethink this decision

@signalapp I'd say eyes on the price @signalapp, but you seem blinded. Terrible move towards mainstream adoption.

@signalapp Love the service. One feature request: stop bugging me about turning on notifications… that’s a nag I would expect from Facebook, not a well-established non-profit brand like yourself.

@DethVeggie @signalapp It was already like this on iphones. I'm annoyed to, but will help me with people who do understand the difference between sms and signal. People who used both on signal were confusing, unless they understood the difference. -ENOTENOUGHLETTERSTEXPLAIN

@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

@signalapp This is a terrible idea. The reason I've been able to convince so many non technical people to use signal is because the cost is so low because they can keep using SMS. This decision means all those people will go back to only using SMS...

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

@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...

Good to hear #facebook, #instagram are down. Proof that putting all your eggs in 1 basket is not a good idea @joinmastodon and @PixelFed for your photos and message people using @signalapp.

@signalapp this is a terrible idea. the only reason I was making any progress at all on getting people to use Signal was because they could just use it like a better SMS app. at this point it's essentially useless to me because it'll be impossible to convince anyone else to switch.

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 why are you not addressing the SMS verification issues in #Iran ? You have no idea how disappointed I am in you right now. #IranRevolution2022

@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

(@housepage) reported
@signalapp This is a terrible move. If I care to, I know how to look if my messages are secure. Otherwise, I enjoy the ease of unified experience with my SMSing. This isn't about user privacy and is a misguided attempt to drive adoption but it'll cause the opposite: Mass Flight.

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 .

@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

@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?

Trent Larson
(@trentlarson) reported
@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.

@mer__edith @signalapp @reckless terrible decision-making from you regarding the removal of SMS default app on AndroidOS. The entire point of signal is to encourage adoption... which is not very useful when you need two apps (or more) for everything. Every other tech company is trying to reduce the # of apps...

@easoncxz @signalapp The problem is siloing into different apps.
