    Wish Signal still did normal txt messages I dislike having more than one app but yeah I guess they have their reasons.

      Their reasons were nonsense and I believe they simply didn’t feel like supporting SMS anymore, change my mind

      Check out Beeper. It loads SMS from Google messages, and messages from WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook and Instagram messengers, discord, etc.

        Beeper is pretty good. I don’t have it mirror Signal because it kind of defeats the purpose, but works really well to unite WhatsApp, Instagram Messages, FB messages and various other ways people keep in touch with me without having to open the spammy apps involved

          If you are feeling really bold you can use a self hosted matrix server bridged with signal to do what beeper does and keep everything encrypted.

      They stopped coincidentally around the same time Google announced that no third party messaging apps would be allowed to use RCS.
