They really didn't have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don't need another pop up in my life.

UK here, I still use SMS for people who aren't on Signal.
I don't use WhatsApp and I'm on Android, so no iMessage, so SMS is the great leveller that will always work.
It's a shame Signal dropped SMS fallback as it was really useful.
One of the issues they explained when they dropped SMS is that it was misleading to users to have unencrypted communications in an app that promotes privacy over all.
Yeah, and to be fair, I see their point.
But I feel they could have done more to communicate to users that "this message will be encrypted" or "this message won't be encrypted". It's their app though, so up to them I guess.
