It's so very obvious that removing SMS support for "security reasons" is just as saying "please store your insecure SMS plaintext with your stock messages application or better just use WhatsApp for that again". It makes me wonder if there might also be another reason. Legal issues (encryption, governments, etc)? If not: please Signal guys - that's just a step back. People who write SMS won't stop writing SMS, you just allow another party to do whatever is good for them. And searching through _all_ messages is really a big thing for some of us. Why not just add some awareness items - visible eyes and ears and dollar signs, together with the information what information is given away and that this might cost money?
