[whispersystems] Disabling outgoing SMS/MMS

[drakula 84]

Hi all

Is there a quick way to disable SMS and MMS from the app?

And also excluding non-app users from contact search?

Basically show me app users only, even when I use dialpad or search. And do
not let me send SMS and MMS.

Cheers

We don’t currently support a "hard" disabling of outgoing SMS/MMS. If you don’t make TS your default SMS client, though, it does exclude non-app users from contact search.

We keep the dialpad option enabled since it’s easy to imagine situations where you’d want to send a TextSecure message to a number you don’t have in your contacts list.

Aha, it makes sense. Thanks...
