    @signalapp Terrible decision.

  • 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. ...

  • wwahammy Eric Schultz (@wwahammy) reported

    @olmaverick @signalapp I'm sympathetic to that too. But, I don't remember anything changing in that area for a long time. So is this an intractable problem? I'm skeptical it is.

  • olmaverick ☠spooky scary skelemav☠ (@olmaverick) reported

    @wwahammy @signalapp In point of fact I have never used signal for SMS, in the early days of the standalone app the UI was really terrible, and I avoided it for anything but secure messages. It kept getting better but by then I really like the idea that I had a secure box and an insecure box.

  • ExecutiveRiot CorporateRiot (@ExecutiveRiot) reported

    @signalapp So bummed as this was my default messaging app for all. Likely not going to play the messaging app juggling game though, so thanks for the years of service Signal.

  • mghare Michael (@mghare) reported

    @signalapp Your making a terrible decision. This is going to make what is already a difficult sell ever harder.

  • khenmain Khen (@khenmain) reported

    @signalapp This is probably a bad move. Having SMS and Signal conversations in one app makes it so much simpler for new users to switch. I guess this move will help improve the security of people using Signal, but this change will likely cause significant inconveniences.

  • savehansson Håkan Save Hansson 🇸🇪🇺🇦 (@savehansson) reported

    @signalapp Terrible decision. Many (most?) Signal users on Android, incl their families/parents, will now have to leave Signal and use plain SMS app instead 😟 You're de facto forcing people to use LESS secure/private messaging.

  • jdcguy JC (@jdcguy) reported

    @signalapp removing SMS support from Signal for Android is a terrible idea, yes I read the blog post, yes I understand the arguments. I convinced many people less technically versed to install it because it served as their default SMS app. You will lose many users over this

  • TNONate Nate Bartram (@TNONate) reported

    @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.

  • mghare Michael (@mghare) reported

    @signalapp You're making a terrible decision. This is going to make what is already a difficult sell ever harder.

  • jrynedanielson J. Ryne Danielson (@jrynedanielson) reported

    @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.

  • CalMezzaluna Calderia Mezzaluna (@CalMezzaluna) reported

    @signalapp As many have already said, this is a terrible decision on so many levels. I've been an advocate and a donor for quite some time, but this decion seems ill-advised and runs counter to the privacy advocacy Signal claims to represent.

  • Metr0pl3x MetropleX (@Metr0pl3x) reported

    @signalapp Have to say while I understand and appreciate the motive, pragmatically as others have said it's a terrible move for adoption. I've managed to move OAPs onto Signal thanks to SMS integration. I have also appreciated the backup/restore of SMS as well as securing SMS OTP codes.

  • nananikinas Nananikinas (@nananikinas) reported

    @signalapp I’m soo for this if it also means removing the phone number requirement for using the service. Cause privacy right?
