Any plan for Sailfish to support group SMS/MMS?
I Love Sailfish OS.
This maybe considered as duplicate for https://together.jolla.com/question/75552/messaging-application-does-not-support-group-sms-or-group-mms/ (asked Jan 7 2015) and a few other threads that didn't get any official response from Jolla.
Jolla, any plans for implementing group MMS/SMS feature for Sailfish OS messaging app?
I bought an XA2, paid fro Sailfish X, got it up and running and being using for couple days with my second sim card. Everything is working very smooth. I LOVE IT!!! I would love to put my primary sim in this phone.
Unfortunately, I can't because of 1 and only 1 reason. No group MMS/SMS support.
I was hoping an Android App, like Signal can take over the SMS/MMS. It can on Android, but not on Sailfish.
The main reason we use MMS/SMS for group messaging is that the other solutions are so fragmented. Some use Whatsapp, some use iMessage, some use Signal. Can't really tell if everyone you want to send message to is using the same tool. SMS/MMS is the least common denominator that everyone can receive (except Sailfish users)
If you don't have any plan to add this feature to Sailfish OS messaging app, is it possible to allow Android App, like Signal to take over messaging? Any plans for that?
Should I drop the love for Sailfish and move on? If there is no plans, that is my only choice. I hate to do that, but I can't ask everyone to stop sending me group MMS, since iPhone and Android supports it very well.
Thanks in advance for a response. Positive or Negative!

WOW!!! UPDATE!!!
The question has been closed for the following reason "duplicate question" by jiit
In fact, it is not a duplicate question. I am asking a question if Jolla is planning to support. I am not reporting an issue like the other request.
If jiit is a Jolla employee, I guess I got the answer I was looking for. Thank you jiit for your great service to the Jolla community. I guess this is how Jolla is going to take care of the requests.
What you (jiit) don't understand or is ignoring is the fact that the other request was from 2015 and the request was also not answered by Jolla.
It is very nice of you to just close saying it is duplicate, without any explanation or a real response.
