WhatsApp Channels will deliver a private way for people to receive updates that matter to them. We’re welcoming some of the biggest celebrities, sports teams, artists, creators that people can follow.
I fully support the push for open protocols. It’s insane to me that most walled garden messaging apps are largely a wrapper for XMPP.
Signal supporting SMS would be nice, but I certainly prefer web based protocols over MMS for sending media. The less compression there is on the photos and videos I share the better.
Other than being forced to use WharsApp due to their market dominance, I have no desire to use anything proprietary or closed source.
Signal is my top choice open source option, because it’s easy for my family and friends to just use, and it’s one of a very small pool of messaging apps that is verifiably private and secure.
