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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
