Blastoidea Graphite I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I suspect that it sucks even more for those who do have that concern.
Graphite Blastoidea I get it. I just wish disclaimers and configurable options were the default response, instead of complete removal of features. I'm not sure what Moxie would have done if still in charge. It's okay to cater to the users with the most risk... but they shouldn't dismiss others. Just put up an option that makes it clear in bold text, "you may be charged by your carrier for data usage". They know how to nag the user for donations and verifying your PIN.
zehyani Signal still allows SMS. Does Molly allow SMS at this time? Will it follow Signal and stop allowing SMS in the near future? thanks
MetropleX zehyani Signal still allows SMS. They have started pushing notifications within the app about Signal removing SMS so imagine the timescale is short for this to continue.
Graphite MetropleX Since we won't be able to have encrypted backups of SMS using Signal anymore, is there a preferred method to backup/archive SMS messages in an encrypted way? 3rd app?
pdagenius To update from my initial post, I received an update to Signal this morning via notification from the Signal app. This thread may be be updated to Solved from my point of view. Thanks all who contributed.
Blastoidea If Signal is now your default messaging app, will your SMS traffic automatically start arriving on Google’s messaging app when Signal pulls the plug on it?
MetropleX Blastoidea Googles? GrapheneOS has a default SMS messaging app but this is AOSP not Google Messenger. So long as Signal updates to remove itself from the default SMS app list, then no you may manually be required to change it, if it does then it will indeed default back to Messenger which comes with GrapheneOS.
Blastoidea MetropleX Thanks. I stated the question poorly. Not sure why I said Google’s. Internal brain short?
