Signal has already committed suicide by removing its most important feature, "compatibility with other messaging apps", from its list of supported features. It's a dead app walking at this point, though it will probably take a few years to wind down and die.
- barbazoo 4y agoSame applies to every other messaging app that's not federated which is almost all of them.
- jellicle 4y agoYep, and if you check your local app store, it's full of thousands of also-ran messaging apps that are, indeed, dead. While Signal had SMS it had a feature that was NOT common on other apps, now it has the SAME feature set as, say, Whatsapp, and so instead of being a better Whatsapp (because it had features Whatsapp didn't) it's now a worse Whatsapp (same feature set, much smaller userbase), so it's doomed. Just like all the other also-ran apps.
