Signal wasn't using the SMS protocol. They were using the Signal protocol. They're droping support for using the app as an SMS client. I think than nobody should be using SMSs nowdays so that's good.
No one should, but sooooo many Americans are. I don't have a single person using Silence for E2E messages. Nor did I really have any friends using signal, either. But for myself I was looking for on device encryption and password protected app usage. I wish I had friends using either... But they all have iPhones and use iMessage.
Oof. That sucks. :(
