@signalapp why do incoming text messages not get a check?

Sent from a secure source (ie signal app). ATM I have contacts (iOS users) who default starting conversations from insecure sources (ie sms). My reply goes through Signal but without clicking more info idk if their message originated from a secure source

Insecure messages will always have an unlocked lock icon in the outside corner. You can see what it looks like here: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/115002260332-Where-is-the-lock-icon-for-Signal-messages- … If you are not seeing that icon, then it is a Signal message.

Did not know that. Thanks. Is it possible to make the icon locked/unlocked always show? I'm a big fan of peace of mind.

The unlocked icons are significantly more visible when they aren’t next to similar-looking lock icons. By default, everything in Signal is secure. SMS and MMS messages should really stand out. If you’re not seeing an unlocked icon, you can be sure that the message was encrypted.

I feel like the call and sms outgoing make it very clear your attempting to send a secure message but I guess I should accept the design decision that incoming messages should be assumed secure and manually check more info to set my mind at ease.

That manual check can be quick too. No unlock icon? It’s a Signal message.
