Not one app for all communication, one app for all text messages.

I don't disagree.  But just flat out taking the option away was silly.  If it didn't originally have the capability, I never would've used it in the first place, and I'm not alone in that.  Now I have to use Motorola messaging (because I'm not going back to the Google one) for some contacts and Signal for others.

Come to think of it, I don't think it did SMS/MMS by default; I'm pretty sure it was something I had to explicitly allow it to do.

now i start to get the actual issue. i encountered some apps, which do not allow local contacts, only cloud option. so if signal app uses local contacts, then it's an advantage. it is a reason enough to restore sms/mms option.

what i remenber in the past. sms/mms option was not default for signal, but it suggested during installtion.
