This is bad design. Why excuse bad design? When I send a text message and it doesn't arrive, my messaging app lets me know. With Signal, this is a step backward.

You only know if your SMS fails to send, not if the receiving party has deleted their messaging app, broken their phone, or changed number.

Signal does let you know, it never gets the delivered mark.

That's not letting me know, that's something I have to check.

I meant I check in Signal. It does indicate whether it's received or not and whether it's read or not.
