    Just ditch WhatsApp. Don’t give in to social pressure to install malware on your phone

      There’s nobody on Signal, that’s the problem. If I want to miss out on all of my group conversations, work conversations, messages between myself and others, then yeah, I can switch. But if I want to receive any messages at all, I have to keep WhatsApp installed.

      The problem is there’s no one on signal that I want to talk to. So “just ditch the app” isn’t actually helpful.

          " It’s not that hard really all you have to do is be around people who already want to move over". Yeah thanks for that advice.

          I have a very similar strategy to being rich, step one is to be rich already. Simplicity itself.

              Why are you being intentionally disingenuous?

              I will say it again just so it’s stated.
              People are not going to move to another service unless they can obviously see the benefit in moving to that service. People who are not technically inclined (that doesn’t mean stupid) are not going to see the benefit.

              Don’t be rude about people you don’t know anything about. Don’t insult their intelligence just because they’re not as interested in a very niche area of technology as you are.

              spoiler

              Why are you friend with stupid people?

              Also note that if you are going to be rude about people you know nothing about, you had better check your grammar
