Signal is removing SMS support in Android, which we announced here. To move SMS to another messaging app, follow steps here.
Here, we review the reasons we chose to remove SMS. We did not make this choice lightly, but we do believe it is necessary to ensure that Signal meets the highest privacy standards for the future.
- SMS is not secure or private, and that means it's fundamentally not compatible with Signal. SMS sends your messages in the clear, so your telecom or anyone snooping on your traffic could read them. Not all people understand the difference between a Signal message and an SMS message, and this led to potentially dangerous incidents where people sent messages they thought were private via SMS.
- SMS is not used much beyond the US and a few other western countries, and its use is declining.
- Signal does not control delivery of SMS and can not prevent spam being sent via SMS. In the US, leading up to elections, unwanted SMS spam was very common, and led to confusion and a surge in complaints to Signal.
- SMS messages are very expensive in many parts of the world. This resulted in many people getting huge bills for SMS messages sent from Signal that they thought were Signal messages.
- Proper SMS support takes a lot of time and labor. Signal has to support millions of devices running dozens of versions of Android. Now multiply that by the hundreds of cell carriers running an old and buggy protocol, and the scope and extent of the bugs and problems people encountered in the process of sending SMS messages begins to be clear.
- SMS is an old and degraded protocol, with many bugs. Remember that incident a few years ago in which everyone got old Valentine’s SMS messages delivered 9 months later? This was due to an SMS protocol bug. This is one of a host of problems that Signal can’t remedy, and that affect people who use SMS via Signal.
- Google is introducing RCS, a new messaging protocol set to displace SMS. The introduction of RCS is making it more and more difficult to maintain a third party SMS app. Currently, SMS messages are being dropped, and other bugs are occurring more frequently due to collisions between SMS and RCS. And there is no API that would allow Signal to integrate RCS.
- Offering SMS support was only possible on Android. iOS does not allow third party SMS clients. This meant that our iOS and Desktop clients were not in sync with Android.

iOS
不能。您无法在您的 iPhone、iPod Touch 或 iPad 上通过 Signal 收发不安全的短信/彩信。通过 iOS 版 Signal 收发的所有通信均是私密通信。Apple 不支持其他应用替代默认的短信/消息应用。
Desktop
否。Signal Desktop 无法收发不安全的 SMS/MMS 消息,仅可发送或接收 Signal 消息。我们想要鼓励用户远离不安全的传统协议。
作为独立的客户端,桌面应用可正常工作,无论移动设备是否出现或在线。为了使用完整的功能,需在手机上安装 Signal,如 管理已屏蔽聊天、已读回执、已关联设备、等等。
