The only reason this isn't a dealbreaker for me is because their sms implementation was so buggy and feature-poor that I would never have used it.
(The only reason I use signal is to talk to my girlfriend. The only reason we use it is early in our relationship I was going through a phase where I adopted annoying privacy tools. I wanted to abandon it, but after years of using it she's developed positive emotional associations between our relationship and signal, so for non-technical reasons she likes to keep using it just to talk to me)

It took me a long time to find this comment. The number of SMS messages I never received was ridiculous. I still use the app all the time, but would never use the integrated SMS messages ever again.
- wildzzz 4y agoI used to use WhatsApp with my girlfriend because I had awful cell service at work but did have wifi. We switched to Signal and have been using it for years. She only talks to me on it and iMessage for everything else but I use it for SMS too. We would literally get into arguments sometimes because she wouldn't see SMS messages I'd send her with my one bar of 3G or they would be out of order and cause confusion. I love having all of my conversations in one app. I really like Signal and if this change goes through, it might make me seriously consider just getting an iPhone next time.
