That’s a pretty poor excuse, since Signal made it very clear when a message was going SMS.

If they felt it wasn’t obvious enough, make it more obvious.

I can’t find any reason to remove SMS support, other than something they’re not telling us.

I read some BS about it costing Signal more to support… It couldn’t be much, because SMS is handled by the OS, Signal just hands it off via standardized API.
