In this Signal review, we’ll look at the capabilities, usability, and security that Signal offers. We’ll also talk about how the design of the service provides extremely strong protection for your privacy. Signal is truly impressive, so let’s cut the chatter and dig in to the review.
Signal lost me when they took away SMS and added crap like stories. The new CEO is trying to make a social media app. When people really liked Signal for what it was.
Although I never used sms via Signal I agree on both points. The Stories venture was such a flop.
Signal lost me when they took away SMS
I’m still using it because my son insists, and I do like the security. But even before they officially dropped SMS there were quite a few of my friends who could not receive my texts unless they joined Signal. So I learned to keep 2 messaging apps on my phone desktop, which I find frustrating. Now of course I can only use Signal with other Signal users. I have quit recommending Signal to others.
