Signal also has other issues on iOS, like the lack of message backup/restore which exists on the Android version. Every time I upgrade my phone I have to reformat & disable iCloud lock and hand in my device before I get a new one.

So I made the switch from G Suite Legacy to iCloud+ (99 cents seemed like a bargain to try out) and it has a few kinks to work out. Their documentation put double-quotes around the SPF records, and when I added them they didn't work --

Google was also using deceptive language (pay or lose access) to hold previous G Suite purchases hostage. Only after backlash did they add info to their FAQ and say that there would be some sort of purchase migration available.

The FAQ didn't say that when the news first came out; it must have been updated due to backlash. As a side note, I still haven't gotten an email notification of this days later. If it wasn't for HN I wouldn't have known

I find the inability to transfer my paid Android apps and Youtube purchases to a free Gmail account quite egregious. GSuite already had lesser consumer functionality than regular Gmail accounts, at least let us transfer over our purchases.

It's still possible to port-out your Google Voice number for a fee. I wouldn't rely on keeping Google Voice after Google kills the legacy accounts. If you have to, port out to a different SMS service (you could port back in to con

One of the problems is that people who paid for Google Play purchases and other services have no way of migrating them to a free Gmail account.
