Haven't used Element but that sure doesn't sound better. Signal works as a drop-in replacement for the default SMS app on Android, I'm not gonna tell my mom to stop using my phone number and message `tfehring` from Element instead (if it's even that simple), especially since she'd still need an SMS app for everyone else.

I've found this specific issue doesn't matter for 30% of mobile users, because they're using the phone purely in a reactive state (usually to popups, or the notification area!).
