I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn’t even say anything.

A: what’s your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don’t have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

    Well, they partly took that “feature” away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

    They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

    I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

    Having said that, I’m using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.
