Signal Finally Rolls Out Usernames, So You Can Keep Your Phone Number Private
They’ve definitely said, albeit relatively quietly and sparsely, that SMS/MMS messages have always been a headache to implement and maintain. It makes sense, although it sure as hell frustrates me too. It’s harder to sell somebody on an app that only works on a proprietary messaging network, whereas old Signal could be sold to friends as “a texting app that can be encrypted” or “does big files”.
