I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Sms 2FA is not safe, full stop.

Sure, SMS-based 2FA is not nearly as secure as other forms of 2FA. But unless you're targeted, SMS-based 2FA still helps add a layer of security against other issues like password re-use. Of course none of us do that either, but for the general public, I'd rather support SMS-based 2FA across the board than nothing at all.
