Just out of curiosity what instant messenger / texting app do you use? (If something else, add a comment)
@nova Mostly WA but only because it took me so many years to convince my Mum to use a web based message service that changing again would be a total pita!
@nova I use Signal and Telegram with my friends and family, and Textra specifically for SMS/text messages.
google chat
@nova
I use iMessage to apple owners only as it falls to SMS to any other.
I use Signal some.
But IRC with SSL and OTR encryption, for most other secure comms.
@nova what's the one that comes w/ the phone? that one. 😂
@singlemaltgirl yeah that would be standard SMS if it's Android, if it's iPhone you'd be using sms with android users and iMessage with other iphone users.
@BrentSullivan @corlin @LaMarghe I plan on continuing to use it too. I just plan on being more engaged and quicker to respond on Signal versus regular text messaging.
@nova it's standard SMS, but it's verizons program, highly customizable and has a lot of features
If you use Signal, so far @corlin and @LaMarghe , I'm curious what you think of the recent news about sms integration being decrecated and will you continue using the app:
