So how do you have group chats or send files with your non-Signal contacts?

You don’t x)
More seriously, in these cases, I often rely on emails instead. But I don’t really use group chats a lot (even with my contacts that are on Signal), nor send many files, so it’s not features I really miss.

Blimey, you and I have wildly different use cases, I don’t think I’ve sent an email to someone who wasn’t a business for decades!

Group chats work over SMS. I use cloud links for large files or just SMS/MMS for pictures and you just live with the low quality if texting with an iPhone user.

SMS doesn’t have group chats does it? Unless your client is just sending the same message to everyone and grouping together the responses?

It has never occurred to me to do either of those things, and apparently hasn’t to anyone I’m in contact with either.
Though I don’t use group chats or send files in Signal either, so there’s that.
