I for one welcome the change, because my phone does not have an SMS plan (data only) and the "send by SMS" is a bit confusing.
A messaging app should have one clear behavior per interface. This was "maybe secure, maybe not". I have an SMS app for that (well, VoIP-sms, because I'm weird).
- stirfish 4y ago> "send by SMS" is a bit confusing Can you say more about what's confusing about this for you?
- mgbmtl 4y agoI don't like explaining to people that "yes it can do sms, and signal is sort of sms but not really" etc. and the workflow when adding someone is different (waiting for approval or not).
- Xelynega 4y agoYou sound misguided if you're trying to explain the details of signal to get them to use it. All they need to understand to use the app is "its sms", any e2ee they benefit from as a result are completely in the background.
