    I don’t think it’s really a chat app. Isn’t it just a text replacement? Or does it just use that number as your ID to use it? I have it, but only ever used it with one guy.

      It has lots of nice features over SMS: read/typing notifications, image/video support, proper groups, message expiration. I think that makes it a chat app

        I have all those features with Google Messages (as long as I’m not talking to an iPhone user).

        Signal’s UI has improved a lot though. Still I only know one person that uses it.

        I was implying mms as well. Didn’t know about the other additions. I only knew one person with it, and we haven’t spoken in years.
