It was a large maintenance burden: "It’s holding us back. Dealing with all the corner cases associated with the encrypted SMS/MMS transport prevents us from dedicating focus and attention to make the overall product better." https://whispersystems.org/blog/goodbye-encrypted-sms/ https://whispersystems.org/blog/goodbye-encrypted-sms/
- yellowapple 11y agoExcept that the whole point of me wanting to use TextSecure is the encrypted SMS/MMS transport. How would removing the one feature that actually stands out make for a better product?
- BuildTheRobots 11y agoHmm, I've never quite managed to find what all these problematic corner cases actually are. The bit that jumps out from your link is the fact they now support iOS, and iOS won't let them programatically send/receive SMS. It seems to be a case of "now we support iOS, to keep feature parity, we're stripping out our main feature!" -I insert my own <slowclap /> at this point.
