what do you mean? i use it a lot and it works great, photos, videos, phone calls, optional temporary location sharing with friends, and encryption.
what features do you want it to have that it's lacking?
Don't forget, cross-platform!
i totally forgot, another great point
Don’t forget voice calls! It has some rough edges there (my audio doesn’t always connect successfully, etc), but when it works the codec sounds better than a standard phone call and there’s no mass surveillance. I use it in place of phone calls for all the people in my network who have it, including my immediate family.
that's a great point, i use the voice calls daily.
added above.
And video! Group video too!
I'm guessing they probably want stickers or something
Edit: apparently this is available on signal so I have no fucking idea then
Yeah you can even make your own stickers for free
Yea we heavily use it in the army
very cool, i had no idea.
free, convenient, reliable encryption.
My guess is it heavily private and does not have channels
except that it does. you can make a public group with a shareable link, and change permissions so that only the admins can post.
