My recommandation, stop using SMS
Switch to E2EE chats
I’ve tried, but literally everyone else I know absolutely hard refuses to switch to Signal. So, L I guess.
And here is the exact reason Signal dropping SMS was a terrible decision.
Yup. That’s the whole reason I kept using signal. I got 2 or 3 people to start using it while the rest stayed on sms. It kept all my other SMS messages in the same app. So it was seamless to transition between one or the other depending on who used what.
I actually quit using signal when it could no longer be my SMS app, just because it became too much of an annoyance to remember which people did and didn’t use signal.
Yeah. Very few of the people I know have any interest.
Up to you what you choose to share when the information goes over open air
The shit I send via sms is like “Do you want pizza tonight” or “how far away are you”. Anything more detailed gets turned into a phone call. It’d be cooler if it were Signal but alas, family habits die hard.
For sure, my family took to it because Hangouts was being deprecated and we wanted a new group chat system. Easier for them since they had already adapted to a more modern text system, but I used it as an opportunity to get them onto a more secure platform and they did!
Signal Matrix etc are the way. Good luck in the future.
