They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

Unfortunately it’s difficult to get people to switch to it

And they didn't make it any easier by removing SMS support from the mobile app.

It was pretty easy to get a couple of my friends to switch by saying it's just another SMS client that also supports highly encrypted messaging with other people that use Signal. Now that it's standalone, nobody will even fucking touch it.

which is weird, I don't know any other country that still uses SMS other than the usa, for chatting.

it's for 2FA from banks (which are now switching to authenticator apps) and bulk scams mostly that I can see.
