It's a shame that Signal has discontinued its support for normal SMS, hadn't implemented RCS, is spending too much effort on "stickers" and now keeps prodding you to donate money. Then there's the broken notification with iOS users who just don't find out that you messaged them until they launch the app.

As a direct result my use of Signal has pretty much ceased.

SMS is not a secure way to communicate and shouldn’t be in Signal, it was a mistake from the beginning.

Another android user here. What you say is true but doesn't matter. I also stopped using Signal when sms was dropped. For some people a unified app that wasn't Google or WhatsApp was what we needed.
