Given that TextSecure is now no better than WhatsApp (both do push messaging, both use phone numbers as identities, both use the axolotl ratchet, etc.), I don't really see a need to promote TextSecure over WhatsApp for casual (not-at-high-risk) encryption. SMSSecure, on the other hand, does something that WhatsApp, WeChat, etc., can't.

That's unfortunate. But it does keep with Whisper System's general way of operating: they focus on the part of the problem that they can handle well. I'm not surprised its quite hard to handle encrypted SMS in conjunction with internet-based encrypted messaging. But I'm guessing this will leave a lot of people without encrypted messaging. I looks like TextSecure is being positioned to compete with all the big time messaging apps out there, like WeChat, WhatsApp, etc. .hc On Mar 9, 2015, at 10:21 AM, Carol Waters wrote:Despite this very nice explanation of why OWS is dumping SMS, there are users who still want/need this.
