Ehhhh

Signal lost a lot of my love when they removed SMS support

sms is useless tho?
it's basically a confirmation code delivery system, with some ads and spam

It's not useless in western countries. We don't all have our entire country communicating via Metas WhatsApp lol

That is dumb that they'd remove a feature, but I tried it and switched back to a dedicated texting app. The feature wasn't full featured enough for me to want to use it.

Lol, that was the worst feature ever. If you forgot disabling it at install, it was nearly impossible to see it's going to be a sms or signal message. (Especially for people who aren't tech savvy)
