| Re: [PLUG] Advise on selecting an alternative for Signal |
I would recommend staying with Signal. They have good privacy and security guarantees in their app. At this point, Signal wasn't doing anything with SMS/MMS messages that another SMS/MMS app couldn't do just as well. If you switched to another secure messaging app, you'd still have to get an app for SMS/MMS messaging anyway. --- David Collins dave@cyberpunkjedi.com ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, March 5th, 2023 at 9:07 PM, NetBuoy via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org> wrote: > I recall reading a post here on PLUG about Signal's decision to stop > supporting SMS a few month ago.
