Apple purposely will not integrate this to keep a walled garden around their ecosystem and make messaging between apole/Android a shit experience.
In a perfect world everyone would just adopt rcs, it's better for consumers but Apple only gives a shit about branding/$$$.
But Signal has been available on Android and iOS this whole time.
Signal killing text support killed Signal for me. Sadge.
Wait…a texting app killed texting?
they sunsetted the sms functionality in their app "to focus on the signal protocol and make it less confusing for people" if i remember correctly. not a big deal to me, the few sms i send i can use a different app for
