But I haven't really had any issues with google's implementation of this feature so I wonder why it is considered unreliable? I agree with your assessment, they've decided it is not worth doing. I like that I can still do this in the mobile app, but it would just be even nicer if I could do it through the desktop as well. I recently switched from Google Messenger and really miss having the desktop client be able to see and send messages to all of my contacts. Personally I would love to have a desktop solution that integrated with my phone for SMS/MMS. I don't agree with their decision, but its their call to make. Signal has bet that not implementing this feature and dealing with those of us that really want it will be less onerous than implementing the feature and dealing with all the people complaining that it doesn't work right because of the reliability problems inherent to any such technical solution.

There are technical solutions that would be just as secure as what is happening on the Android app right now, but they are error prone and unreliable. This isn't a security concern though, it is a headache concern, as was mentioned above, and can be seen here. And Privacy can only be guaranteed if Security can be guaranteed. Basically it boils down to Security concerns and generally increased Security means decreased convenience. Signal makes a fantastic effort for user privacy, but no app has truly taken a significant chunk out of any market without first reaching feature parity with existing appsД®ven though I miss this feature on Signal Desktop I completely understand why Signal team is not implementing it. I hope the devs put some serious thought into this feature. I would love to switch to signal, but for the time being it is an inferior experience. As it stands, I cant really convince myself that using Signal is a better user experience than the Google Messenger app which includes a web app that communicates back & forth with my android app ( ). The android/IOS client already supports SMS, which is not as secure as the signal protocol, so this isn't an issue of ideals, but of engineering time and protocol complexity. I can afford E2E encryption with friends who also use the Signal app, but otherwise I should be able to seamlessly drop into SMS messaging.

Throwing my 2 cents in here, I too really like Signal, but I cant force my entire list of contacts to download a new messaging client just for me. There is no debug log, as this feature does not exist yet.

#PC SMS APP MAC OS X#

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.14.3 Mojave (64-bit) There are no screenshots, as this feature does not exist in Signal yet. Most of the carrier-brand desktop texting applications are hot garbage (Verizon's Message+ app has 1.5 out of 5 stars on the Mac App Store), so you might get some adoption with the introduction of this feature, and MAN it'd be super nice. It'd be awesome if, with desktop Signal, I could just pipe my SMS/MMS messages over a secure pipe to my phone (which would send a receipt notification upon receiving the complete piece of data), which would then pipe those out to the appropriate phone number/contact using the phone's connection to the SMS/MMS network. Would it be at all possible to turn Signal Desktop into the best desktop texting application of all desktop texting applications? I realize SMS/MMS sucks, but plenty of people still haven't moved to Signal because of their walled gardens, such as the Apple platform with iMessage and such.

I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
