    All fair complaints. I’ve managed to switch over all of my contacts to Signal (that I care to talk to, at least).

    My biggest gripe is no back up support on iOS, meaning that if I lose my phone I lose everything. People have tried hand waving it away as a privacy feature, but I think backing up messages is a bare minimum for a messaging app - especially with the released of Advanced Data Protection for iCloud.
