I had a problem where one of my contracts uninstalled Textsecure, and went back to the vanilla SMS app. Now all the messages he received from me are garbled. Somehow they need a way to disassociate phones AFTER the app has been uninstalled.
- perucoder 11y agoWouldn't that be a huge security flaw? Someone with access to your phone could uninstall the app then read all the messages.
