Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.
Comment on New Fairphone turns into a dumbphone at the flick of a switch

The problem with most dumphone modes is that "normal" Phone and SMS (RCS makes the latter better, but your provider needs to support it, and it usually adds one more Google dependency) are useless if your social network extends past one country, and that's not that uncommon in Europe. I would need to at least be able to include Signal for it to work for me.

In the demo video, they show that you simply check boxes on which apps you want to be available or not in the dumb mode, I imagine selecting signal, and deselecting the default SMS messager is possible
