Cons
Con If SMS/MMS imported, other apps can't read SMS
For those using Join, Pushbullet, or similar apps to send and receive SMS/MMS from web or desktop, putting your SMS in Signal somehow breaks this functionally. The dev is aware but plans to remedy the situation have not been named a priority.

An excellent communication app for end to end encrypted messaging, file sharing, audio and video calling. Has good desktop app, which doesn't require phone app to be running and connected in order to work (unlike WhatsApp). Is open source, unlike WhatsApp.
