  • jrachwal jraculla 🇺🇲 (@jrachwal) reported

    @signalapp Terrible decision. SMS is how I get the less technical folks in my world to use signal. It's the #1 use case to get them in and you're taking it away. Horrible decision. Very disappointed.

  • phillipopfer phillip (@phillipopfer) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp I have been having issues with signal if my phone is in any power saver mode.

  • 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. ...

  • TheSouthWolf 🤠 Southern Wolf 🐺 (@TheSouthWolf) reported

    @signalapp Y'all deserve all the flak you're getting for making this terrible decision. This is a really quick way to lost a good number of Android users, who I'm gonna guess make up the largest share of your user base. Perhaps a reconsideration is in order, #Signal?

  • rshdmamun Mamun-Ur-Rashid (@rshdmamun) reported

    @signalapp No problem

  • incongruousm Jason Deabill (@incongruousm) reported

    @signalapp 1/ Whilst the motivation is almost understandable, this is a terrible decision. A single app for SMS and secure comms when available is/was a key reason to use Signal. I'd be stunned if any significant number of people found this confusing. This is just going to be an obstacle in

  • RandoTCustomer Rootfake (@RandoTCustomer) reported

    @signalapp This is a seriously terrible idea, sms has its issues, but signal was always something I could recommend to android users as a "hey, this app will handle text messaging seamlessly, and will encrypt with the other people you know who care about privacy". Dropping sms is a bad move

  • 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.

  • tilgovi interlinear annotation separator (@tilgovi) reported

    With @signalapp dropping SMS on Android the most upsetting thing is just confronting how medium as proxy for priority is gone. People use every social media service from every kind of device, with variable and personal preferences for notifications and presence.

  • TychoTithonus Royce Williams (@TychoTithonus) reported

    @AaronToponce @signalapp If I had seen any evidence of widespread testing of alternative ways to ensure users can visually distinguish the difference between SMS and non-SMS, I would buy it. If they're getting hammered with UX problems, they need to try some creative UX solutions. But they're not.

  • 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.

  • mahmoud_ajawad @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online (@mahmoud_ajawad) reported

    @nixcraft @WhatsApp @signalapp Signal is no saint unfortunately. Much of the promises made when the big whatsapp migration started are broken already. Unfortunately there's nothing to match whatsapp now except sms, or moving people off texting to communicating over protocols such as matrix.

  • 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.

  • 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.......

  • OliverCFRuth Oliver Ruth (@OliverCFRuth) reported

    Good on @signalapp for removing SMS - it was the biggest thing in the way of them becoming a top tier privacy messaging service
