This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    Yeah, I’m basically in this boat. My OS is what brings my notifications together, and makes clear distinctions between the different apps I utilize. I don’t need one app to do everything. I use signal for sensitive business, having conversations about projects and sending credentials to coworkers. I use Teams for general work conversations. I use iMessage for nearly all other casual conversations - of those maybe 30% are SMS.

      As an Android user, all I have to say is fuck iMessage. Dark pattern, anticompetitive piece of shit.

        I think you mean Apple. Apple is an anticompetitive. They don’t want people to leave their ecosystem the moment they’ve bought a signal apple product.

      Anyone that privacy minded could’ve easily just made any other app their default SMS app.

      I still see no reason they ever needed to drop it.
