@sxan @poVoq SMS was intergrated to Signal initially, as people used it prior to Signal being developed. People wanted an all in one app but as we see now, they would like to keep their mission on the right track of staying a secure and privacy driven service. It is understandable they are taking this direction forward. Some users just need SMS especially to communicate to those who still have not adopted particular practices and/or have aqcuired the services to do so.
