This might be offtopic but:

Fun Fact, you can use an open source app like Secure Space Encryptor (SSE) (on iOS its called “Paranoia Text Encryption”) to send an encrypted ciphertext over any medium, like SMS, without the internet. (Most encrypted messaging apps require you have to have internet AFIAK, so people without a data plan is fucked, but with SSE, you can just send ciphertext over SMS) Its not intergrated with SMS, so you’ll have to type plaintext in the app then copy paste the ciphertext it spits out.

Or you can also PGP over SMS

I remember when Signal used to intergrate with SMS, and I kinda liked that more than the Signal today where you have to use the internet and go through their servers.

Getting people to switch to Signal was difficult in the first place
Imagine trying to get them to use PGP lmao

This is how TextSecure worked before it was renamed to Signal and removed SMS support.

there’s oversec on f-droid that can almost automate this

  This got me thinking that it should also be possible to automate on iOS with Shortcuts….

  Oh yea that overlay thingy, kinda glitchy last time I tried it. If someone is techy enough to manage that clunkiness, then they probably can figure out how to manually copy-paste with SSE.
  
  Btw, these apps are for nerds, not for the average person. No one irl that I know (besides me) would be willing to use either app.
