I used Signal for years and loved it, but I need SMS support to talk to, well, anyone I know. Is there a secure choice that’s near-equal?

    I love Signal, but just a PSA, if you convert between Android and iOS, you’re SOL on migrating your existing messages. You can migrate Android to Android or iOS to iOS, but not between the two platforms. There are at least applications that will let you migrate SMS between the two.

      I mean, losing message history is kinda a known drawback of e2ee. not that big of a deal

      Can signal even do backups iOS to iOS? I was under the impression signal just didn’t support that on iOS at all, but maybe my info is out dated.
