This is not a good move. It's overriding a key use case (many users who primarily use signal can only do so because sms interop) and is going to lead to massive user loss and a missed opportunity. Instead try regular nudges to convert sms users to Signal.

In the interest of privacy, security, and clarity we’re beginning to phase out SMS support from the Android app. You’ll have several months to export your messages and either find a new app for SMS or tell your friends to download Signal.

Every iPhone will search itself for whatever Apple wants, or for whatever Apple is directed to want. They are inventing a world in which every product you purchase owes its highest loyalty to someone other than its owner.

And this is almost certainly why. They don’t want facts from the experts to contradict the nonsense that’s come out of Trump’s mouth.
In cases like these, Trump’s ego is quite literally a public health risk. xitter.cf/acosta/status/12349811…

This is truly insane. The administration isn’t allowing audio or video of its Coronavirus updates — precisely when clear and credible communication is what the American people need most.
@TMobileHelp @JohnLegere Does anyone in the prepaid dept know how to reactivate an eSIM? Spent nearly two hours on this today across store and phone channels. Sounds like there’s a hole in the documentation or a piece is missing. Postpaid documentation exists but doesn’t apply.
@TMobileHelp at this point, I cancelled the old account and had the balance moved to a new one, however the new account did not prompt me to add the eSIM, and restarting the phone didn’t help. Will likely be going back to a store tomorrow because the PIN I set somehow got changed

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his...umm...shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny.
“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!

Found my AirPods with @TheTileApp but they seem to be behind the unmanned service counter at @AmericanAir ICT
It’s like he is campaigning again :-(. This is gross. It’s not a real state of the union. There has been as much applause as speech content.
The theatrics are nauseating... the standing O from VP on lowest unemployment rate for Hispanics in years? Yeah, it’s the lowest for nearly everyone and that had little to do with Trump. Not using numbers just makes it a way to pat himself on the back.
It bothers me that Trump has structured his State of the Union intro to maximize applause.
Many of the things being applauded are notable and nice but they were not necessarily achievements of his office (though he frames it to seem that way).
