Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Just download Signal. Cross platform, verifably E2E, and verifiably no data collected by Open Whisper (as per their submission in a lawsuit). Also, one of the authors/architects of Signal occasionally trolls the companies that provide mobile spyware.
I tried using signal but I had a lot of problems with it. I wouldn’t get my messages. The people I messaged didn’t get my messages. There was an emergency and someone couldn’t get ahold of me when they really needed to. After that I deleted signal and moved on. That’s just my experience. Yours could be different.
Was this on Android?
Yes and to be fair it was a long time ago.
I managed to move a big portion of my friends and groups over to signal and quite a few Android users initially had notification issues that were fixed by updates. Maybe give it another chance.
No, I moved some of my friends and family over to signal and they all left after our issues. Now that it doesn’t even have SMS and no one I know uses it there isn’t any incentive for me to go back.
Fair enough.
