    In that case whatever you’re using isn’t SMS.

    SMS has never supported group chats, and as such you should double-check what you’re actually using to text with one another.

    I find End-To-End-Encryption especially important, as it protects the things you say between you and others, so I advise you to double-check that

      It’s just the default app that came with my phone. Encryption isn’t important to me unless someone really wants to snoop on who may or may not have forgotten to buy toilet paper. LOL. We aren’t talking trade secrets here.

        Privacy ≠ secrecy.

        I like to quote this from privacyguides.org: "Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman’s suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn’t always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn’t. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us, that we are entitled to (without discrimination).

        You shouldn’t confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That’s because you want privacy, not secrecy. Everyone has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human."
