    In Iran everybody is using Google Meet for video calls and everyone is wondering why it doesn’t have messaging support!

      Is it particularly popular there? What do folks use for messaging?

        Yes, it saw a surge in popularity after last year’s protests as the government blocked Whatsapp. Telegram had already been blocked. For messaging most people still use telegram with proxies and VPNs.

          Do folks have access to Signal? It’s too bad it doesn’t support E2E SMS encryption anymore like it did as TextSecure. I think there are forks though.
