Signal lost me when they took away SMS and added crap like stories. The new CEO is trying to make a social media app. When people really liked Signal for what it was.

Although I never used sms via Signal I agree on both points. The Stories venture was such a flop.

Signal lost me when they took away SMS

I'm still using it because my son insists, and I do like the security. But even before they officially dropped SMS there were quite a few of my friends who could not receive my texts unless they joined Signal. So I learned to keep 2 messaging apps on my phone desktop, which I find frustrating. Now of course I can only use Signal with other Signal users. I have quit recommending Signal to others.
