I suppose their focus has been on bringing signal in line with other contemporary messengers to give it a similar level of appeal as something like WhatsApp, targeted towards "regular (and not necessarily privacy focused) people".

I admit i really miss SMS integration, that sort of made it Android's answer to iMessage, except that it's still available cross platform.

Glad for the addition of user names at least.
