        I saw this this morning. Instant disable. Can’t we just have a good, simple messaging app ?

      From the screenshots it sounds like it already can send medium quality photos, this is adding an original uncompressed option. Even signal sends compressed images by default unless you switch it to HQ.

      Its HQ compared to SMS with iPhones at least. I love it when I get blurry blobs of pixels.
