[sudo-discuss] Re: changes to Signal

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 ________________________________ From: Hilary Naylor via sudo-discuss &lt;sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; Sent: Thursday, November 3, 2022 19:30 To: SudoRoom &lt;sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; Subject: [sudo-discuss] changes to Signal 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 --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A… Oakland CA
