I'm still just so furious at Signal management for removing compatibility with other text apps. I used to be constantly growing my Signal network, now it's a slowly shrinking rump that I never add anyone to.
Wasn't that compatibility based on SMS which is inherently insecure?
On Android, it moved SMS messages from the shared SMS store upon receipt and to Signal's own database, which was more secure.
