The biggest security risk like 99% of the time is the human on either end. Plus, it really isn’t the end of the world if someone get a hold of my family texting to ask if I want pizza, nor is anyone really interested in dedicating the resources to steal those messages.
Seriously? Your family would just straight up ignore it? Seems a bit petty, considering you have to actively prevent yourself from recieving notifications in whatever the default app on your phone is, and even more so if they’ve intentionally buried it in a folder to not see the red dot for unread messages. Or just outright jackassery if they see it and refuse to respond.
Also, it works even with the absolute most bottom of the barrel reception, making it far more convienient when you’re not somewhere with reliable service.
Aren’t SMS the least secure messaging system?
Also I’m pretty sure if I send one of those to any relatives would just never reply back lol.
The only use I give them is when an app requires some verification with SMS text.
