@Vincevrp
As I said here https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/634, the idea is not to promote SMS/MMS over anything, but to say that In case you really have no other alternatives, but to use SMS/MMS, then use these apps (Silence and perhaps some others). After all encrypted SMS/MMS is better than non-encrypted SMS/MMS, no?
