    It wouldn’t have been complicated to add a warning for SMS messages.

    The simplest explanation is that Signal is a secure messenger, so the app shouldn’t let you send insecure messages.

    Well that’s the reason I think it will become an app dedicated to a few elitist users. If an app lets me do unsecure things after numerous warnings and popups it should be fine.

    That’s how you make thing secure. You convince people afraid of security/complexity to use Signal and hope one day there is more than 1% of their contacts that could handle secure messaging.

    a few users but they’re not trying to gain maximum market share

    Are you saying they don’t want their messaging app to be popular?

    If your purpose is to secure as many people communication then this will never work by targeting only the most technical users…
