This is a bad feature to have in Signal as it causes confusion which messages are securely encrypted and which are just being sent in effective cleartext over the carriers networks as SMS has no real encryption. Keep SMS in the system Messages apps of the phone.
- Defletter 4y agoIsn't that solvable by doing something similar to iMessage and colouring SMS and Signal messages differently?
- chungy 4y agoHow about the lock/unlock icon that was already there?
- zoklet-enjoyer 4y agoIt's not confusing at all to tell which messages are encrypted and which are sms. I don't like the default sms app and have been using Signal for all my texting for as long as I've had a smartphone, back when it was TextSecure.
- ryukoposting 4y agoI have never been confused by this.
- swap77 4y agoNever confused about lock or unlock - Signal is trying to see how many users they have, who will flock to them as "the" secure msg app - they will quickly see a majority of their users drop, we all have more NOT using signal than are So everyone using 2 apps, losing texts, confused about splitting up permissions, apps confused/not allowing for split SMS delivery (as experienced all over reddit) - they have caused a mess in the name of purity and you reap what you sow, an app nobody uses because they have 3 contacts on signal and 100 on xyz replacement
