You heard a cool new word and used it where it doesn't work, this feature isn't bad at all. If Signal didn't alienate a large number of users by removing SMS maybe switching would be more viable.
Yes I dropped signal when it stopped supporting sms. That was a really dumb choice and I honestly don’t know why they did it
I'm curious, why that feature was so important for you?
Because 90%+ of my contacts use sms (USA) and keeping touch across multiple apps is a huge pain. Like remembering which contact uses which service is stupid.
