Signal had SMS integration with Android, and a desktop app that was tiny and mostly functional. It was the only one I could get anyone to switch to, and now they've pulled SMS support so we're all leaving.

It's absolutely ridiculous they pulled sms support. Now I have less than a week or two to find a new app.

Lol, if you all have it, why do you need SMS?

Because not everyone has it, and nobody wanted to juggle yet another messenger app.

I use iMessage for friends and family; secure enough for low grade traffic.

For work Signal, and if there is some weirdo colleague or vendor who will not adopt it, they are just going to have to use email and wait.

I did. It's possible. I'm using only Signal now.
