>But then who is Signal for? Yes, it has E2EE encryption, but who cares about that other than us orangey types?
Me.
> If I receive a large number of photos via Signal, i have to long tap each of them and save them individually (several taps to do that).
No, you don't. You can select them all and export to Photos app (at least on Android, I have not tried on my iPhone).
> So really, who is Signal for then? It's not for anonymity fans. It's not for people who care about long term discussions.
My SO and I foster. New case, new numbers for everything. When I'm at the pediatrician and I can't remember an insurance number or a birth date, my SO can text it to me and after I say I have it, they can delete the message.
