    Signal do have a habit of removing features people like and completely ignoring user feedback. It’s still the best messaging app, but that could change quickly if they are not careful.

      It’s still the best messaging app

      Not really, it’s filled with random bugs. For example the call functionality is constantly breaking. You can watch the chat log, the other person calls you, waits untill the call times out, and then you get a message that you missed a call and nothing before that. Sometimes it doesn’t even send that message, or the notification doesn’t show up until you open the app.

      I’ve never even heard of bugs that bad in other apps. Hell, even element works more consistently, and it’s the current mascot of “it might become good in a few years”.

      It’s because it’s main feature is privacy. It’s constantly being looked at by threat actors. All of the major nation states are constantly trying to compromise it. That’s why features keep getting removed.
