@TheChaumin @signalapp She also said they'll still require a phone number to fight spam, they just won't make it the username. I dunno, maybe I'm just overreacting cause I'm upset but I'm feeling frustrated and let down. Feels like Signal is going downhill and not listening to their users.

@mer__edith @signalapp Removing SMS is hands down a bad idea. This will directly cause users to stop supporting you and switch to another option.

@deviantollam @signalapp I have battery optimization turned off for Signal on my Pixel 5 and haven't noticed any issues with notifications. I always turn off battery optimization on any app I use for messaging/alerts.

@weems @signalapp (not theory, but fact, b/c when she got a new phone one time the ATT store did not bring signal down as the default sms app)

@deviantollam @signalapp I was having such issues once and reinstalled it. None since

@signalapp Terrible idea. Been here since Whisper text and red phone app days. You're 100% frustrating a long loyal user base for few good reasons.

@signalapp It's going to be extra annoying having to switch to SMS during the times when Signal takes an hour to deliver messages. On the plus side, the load on the servers is going to go way down when half your users disappear.

@signalapp such a terrible decision. It would certainly make me leave Signal, sadly.

@drwilco @thingskatedid @signalapp That's true in many places due to the availability of 3G or even 2G. Carrier texts and calls for 4G and higher are implemented via SIP / IMS using mobile data. US carriers are shutting down their 3G networks. This can be problematic because VoLTE support isn't universal at all.

@signalapp This is a ******* TERRIBLE move, as others have noted, the reason I've been able to get a lot of people to switch to Signal is the fact that it's a one-stop-shop, they don't HAVE to use two different apps to message people depending on what they have. They'll just go back to SMS

@signalapp @hacks4pancakes Terrible idea; will result in _less_ Signal usage. If I need to know if someone is on Signal and then chose the app to use I'll default to lowest common denominator; SMS. I know some iPhone users who removed the app 'cos of this separation; now Android people will do likewise.

@signalapp The other use case you are making more difficult, which I haven't seen mentioned yet, is chaff. I don't use E2E encryption for truly sensitive comms because there's no way I can effectively control both ends. I use encrypted comms to help people who have no other choice.

@deviantollam @signalapp Happening to me on iOS. Frustrating and can’t figure out how to fix it other than always opening the app to check

(@h110hawk) reported
@signalapp This is a terrible decision which needs to be backpedaled. The whole reason I use signal is the single interface. No RCS until there is an API sounds like a feature not a bug.

@signalapp This is a terrible idea. I may stop using it because of the change. At the very least, it will be much less useful to me.
