Jack@ai6yr Seriously... We can't maintain an app for one of the most basic features of the phone...?
Anyway, Samsung Messages is what I use, so I guess I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement now, if you know of any. đź’€

Nazo@tantramar @jack @ai6yr Signal is a different thing to be used in different ways and does not replace the normal SMS/MMS messaging but instead establishes a separate thing.
This is like someone saying "I need a type of apple that I can grow locally" and your response is "oranges."
@nazokiyoubinbou @jack @ai6yr Yes, I was definitely aiming for “asshole” and not “helpful”. Just like you. 🙄

if only it were so, but no, I am only able to receive signal texts from my contacts who have access to the signal app and whenever I try to log into my banking or medical website sign-in their text message is never sent to my signal app. Unluckily, I have today switched my Samsung cellphone default from its message app now to Google Messages. I hate doing that.

@MossyQuartz Talking others into using anything new or different — even if they don’t have to give up anything — will always be an uphill battle… because people.
Two-factor authentication is another kettle of worms entirely. Signal can’t do that. Sorry if I missed that requirement earlier.
@tantramar Ohmygoodness, yes it is always stressful to even think of changing from familiar to anything else. Don't even get me talking about these digital addicts who need everything computerized and never learned to create a pencil and paper columnar spreadsheet worksheet or an index-card file! My important data is backed up on index cards, recipe cards, and a printed monthly worksheet!
