Hi Mitch,
Good to hear from you. If I understand you correctly, I can make the
Android Message the default text app (I have make something teh default,
right?) and ordinary SMS/MMS messages will arrive there, and for those
people in contact list who use Signal, the messages will still happen on
Signal. Is that correct?
thanks
Hilary

Hi Hilary,
You can use as many texting/messaging apps as you like on your phone. I
have about 15 of them on my phone (since I know so many people who only use
one of them, and I'm fine using any on my phone that aren't owned by
Facebook).
When Signal dropped plain SMS/MMS, I now use the native Android Message
app for my SMS/MMS (for some of my friends who don't have any other
messaging app, or who only have Whatsapp or FB Messenger) and use Signal
for all of the people I know who use Signal (which is most people I know).
Cheers,
Mitch

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about what's happening with Signal. I know many if not
all of you use it, and I do too. But many of my contacts are not using
Signal and are unlikely to change if I ask them to (iPhone people are
especially attached to their Message app I find). So does the change (not
supporting SMS/MMS) mean that I have to abandon Signal altogether? I can't
use two texting apps at the same time can I?
I'd appreciate any advice and recommendations.
thanks
Hilary
