YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. - midwest.social

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”

I still wish they hadn’t dropped sms on android. A few family members dropped signal as soon as they needed another app for messaging.

I still don't understand why they did that, I used to use Signal for everything and while it was clear that it couldn't encrypt basic SMS I could at least do all my messaging in one place. Now, I can't communicate with 80% of my contacts via Signal even if I wanted to, forcing two separate messaging apps.

Just let me send unsecured messages. It's fine. As it stands now I don't think I've even opened Signal in nearly six months even though I'd much rather use it than the default messenger.

I only communicate with two people in signal. I still use it because I genuinely despise Android messenger.
