In order to enable a more streamlined Signal experience, we are starting to phase out SMS support from the Android app. The company explained its decision in a blog post: Unfortunately, Signal plans to remove SMS and MMS support, narrowing its focus to encrypted messaging. While SMS and MMS messages don’t offer the same level of security, it’s still a convenient way to keep all messaging in a single app. On Android, the app can also handle traditional SMS and MMS messaging for communicating with users who aren’t on Signal. Signal is one of the most popular secure messaging apps, competing with iMessage and WhatsApp while offering better security and privacy than either. Signal has announced plans to remove SMS messaging from its Android app in a move that’s sure to disappoint users.
