Have you consodered direct Signal Messaging support or at least standard sms sending support, so of someone has signal setup he can benefit from encrypted messaging Services?

No, haven't thought about it yet

Indeed the app doesn't work if a uswr uses signal, cause it doesn't get aware of the recieved sms - so it is possibly necessary to integrate signal support or a different protocoll for users of alternative sms recievers....

I am using signal and finder (with unencrypted sms) works fine for me. This may be a bug occuring unique to you currently. What android version, manufacturer, signal version, etc. do you have?

Can confirm the same, the default SMS app (Signal, Silence, whatever) does not impact the app's functionality.

It might be interesting to investigate SMS end-to-end encryption via Silence's algorythm.

90% of messaging apps have a nice "Reply" button in their notifications - this could be implemented like this:

  1. Select apps from which to "try to respond" - Signal, Telegram, Messenger, etc
  2. If notification includes "request string", try to find a "Reply button" in notification and use it
  3. If not, send notification that this app is incompatilble (for testing)
