I have 3/7 and I hate it. I wish signal never removed the ability to function as sms

morrowind ,

Even if it did, it didn’t support rcs

rockSlayer ,

That’s because Google is gatekeeping the android API for RCS

CosmicTurtle ,

Wait, I thought Google wanted Apple to start supporting RCS. So that everyone can talk to each other.

So Google is just…trying to strong arm apple to give up their proprietary protocol for their own?

That’s so fucked up.

Flax_vert ,

RCS is an open standard. However, on Android you can only use it with Google chat. So android stops any other apps from using it. Nothing to stop you making your own phone from scratch and adopting it.

It’s incredibly stupid, I know.

Samsung messages app also supports RCS, depending on your carrier, though? It’s super fucking buggy and frequently switches back to sms so I still switched to Google messages, but it does technically have it.

TheGrandNagus ,

They only have it because they reached a deal with Google.

zeekaran ,

4/7 here. I’m fine with it. Though sms should be included.

Pfnic ,

Literally me… I’ve 5/7 of these installed and even have Threema in addition. I don’t need more than one Meta Inc product in my life though

I like Threema a lot, but it lacks basic features such as text editing, so I can’t imagine recommending it to anyone.

bennypr0fane ,

You mean text editing after sending? I would definitely not consider that a “basic” feature - we are talking about E2EE here, editing a message that you already encrypted locally and then sent on its way is by no means trivial - especially with the kind of E2EE that we have nowadays.

tsugu OP ,

It actually is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When you edit an E2E encrypted message, your client simply sends another E2E encrypted message telling your contact what to replace your previous message with.

bennypr0fane ,

How many contacts do you have in Threema though?

tsugu OP ,
@tsugu@slrpnk.net avatar

Only one that I actually talk to

I think I have like a dozen chat apps installed but everyone I know just sends me SMS instead… Literally the worst option.

Hey what’s the app tho?

From left to right we have instagram, signal, whatsapp, element, discord, telegram, and messenger

morrowind ,

Isn’t Instagram the same as messanger?

msage ,

Well, actually no

tsugu OP ,

In terms of being useless, most certainly. But they are two separate services despite being owned by the same company.

unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov ,

WhatsApp is also owned by meta, so out of the 7 options, 3 of them are owned by the same company and yet continue to lack support for interoperability.

Trainguyrom ,

The fact that Meta doesn’t even bridge their various services or chat platforms really speaks volumes about what their broader goals and plans are

After posting I realized an exported PNG is the same size and looks much better. Enjoy.

Micromot ,

You should be able to change the image after posting I think

tsugu OP ,

Interesting. I found the option but despite editing the post and uploading the higher quality image, nothing seems to have changed.
