@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

@casey_anderson @signalapp Really super annoyed by this. I think it’s a terrible idea. Forcing me to use the Android Messenger app means I will forever hate the people who made this decision.

@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

@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.

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

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

@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.

Annoyed that @signalapp is dropping SMS service. Why?

(@ahamelin) reported
@mer__edith @signalapp It will wreak havoc throughout the user base, forcing them to manage their messages between two apps, creating problems in the exportation process, losing their texting history, etc., and what if Signal brings back sms support later? Knowing what happened no one's gonna come back

@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.

@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...

(@ReynardVelox) reported
@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...

@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
