iPhone users can now set WhatsApp as their default...
Would love to be able to do this, but with Signal.

Signal had this ability in Android, but removed it a couple of years ago. To handle phone calls and SMS messages the app must handle the normal (GSM) ones too, and Signal said it could lead to confusion on whether the call/message was encrypted.

Can’t you simply show encrypted communications with a visual cue to clue users into the difference?

This would be a killer feature for Signal. I just checked to see if I could do it.
