Well if you look back and read, you'll see where I said I'm not sending baby pics, so no, I'm not juggling separate apps.

If someone wants to send me a pic, MMS is fine, because it's good enough quality to get the point across. If I cared about quality, I'm not using any messenger, including signal, to send my photos. I'll send them uncompressed another way.

Signal removing SMS fallback was dumb, plain and simple. I've switched to Google messages now where I can use encrypted RCS and fallback to SMS.
