  It is. You can get all the privacy and features you want on a dozen of other services.

    😂 no, it isn’t.

    You can get it on hundreds of other services if the people you talk to also use those other services.

    The problem is that they don’t because Apple does not allow you to use any other service with SMS fallback.
