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.
Con Single device
Signal can only be registered to one mobile device at a time. But you can link Signal to Signal Desktop.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Pro SMS/MMS support
Signal can be your default SMS/MMS text messenger. Encryption is not possible when sending SMS to your contacts, however.
Con Uses message mirroring
Signal does not use message mirroring; the desktop application works as a standalone. Not sure where people are getting this information.
