So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal seriously enough to actually use it, it really bums me out that there are these far superior options but without anyone else using them they’re pointless…
Anyway what apps do you use to stay in touch with people?
Signal >>>>>>>> WhatsApp > texting > Telegram >>>>>>> Messenger.
I’d put iMessage above WhatsApp, as long as it’s iMessage to iMessage.
Signal is wonderful.
I’m on Android so no iMessage. Regular testing is ok enough but I like managing my messages from my desktop, which SMS doesn’t do well even with bridge apps.
WhatsApp and sms > telegram? how much did zuck pay you for this comment?
I just strongly dislike the Telegram UI. WhatsApp’s interface I find very slightly better on mobile and much better on desktop.
I’ve managed to get my family from Messenger to WhatsApp. I won’t be able to do more but it’s (just marginally) less terrible.
