I recently found out that Signal supports stickers created by users and was very happy about it. For me, the easiest way to install was this site. Thank you, Signal developers!

      I started using Signal recently, so it does not matter for me. I understand why Signal done that. But it is still kinda weird decision.

        I’m sure it’s easier to develop now without it. But man… My usage of the app is way down. It no longer integrates with my Tesla. Many of my friends dropped it altogether so now I only have a couple people that communicate with it.

        Long term, I don’t think I’ll keep using it. But we’ll see. It was such a great app.

      I never looked into why the removed it. Is SMS a securi risk? Maybe they’ll bring it back with RCS.

        Because SMS has zero security and including it in a secure messenger gave some people a false sense of security. Basically Signal is for secure messaging, SMS is insecure, therefore it has no place there.

          Okay, makes sense. Maybe they’ll reintroduce it with RCS once it’s more widely adopted.

            I guess they could, but only if it was just as open and secure a standard as the Signal protocol, which I doubt it will be any time soon
