That's great. Most older people aren't juggling two apps.
I'm also not sending baby photos because fuck kids, but if I wanted to send photos, it wouldn't be compressed over signal or WhatsApp.
I dont use MMS, I use RCS, and even then, if I cared about quality, I am not sending it directly via any chat service as they will compress it.
Well if you look back and read, you'll see where I said I'm not sending baby pics, so no, I'm not juggling separate apps.
If someone wants to send me a pic, MMS is fine, because it's good enough quality to get the point across. If I cared about quality, I'm not using any messenger, including signal, to send my photos. I'll send them uncompressed another way.
Signal removing SMS fallback was dumb, plain and simple. I've switched to Google messages now where I can use encrypted RCS and fallback to SMS.
