Oof. As an Android user, this sucks. Though I have my frustrations with Signal (cellphone number, address book hashing, centralization, the cryptocurrency stuff, removing storage encryption) -- it's still the only app I trust. Even more than the stock Samsung messaging app. I don't want to trust another, and I don't want to have to bifurcate my messaging flow.
All of my family use iOS though, so this is already their use case. I understand less code is more secure, and a unified codebase between devices is good -- heck. This might even lead to no more phone number requirement.
But this still stinks for my use case.
FWIW though, I was more upset about the cryptocurrency thing.
