Everyone around me have family groups on WhatsApp, including 90+ old grandmas.
Awesome! You should definitely investigate Signal and start recommending it to others. Meta is evil and can't be trusted. Or privacy is critical to our survival. Party on, Comrade
I was a Signal fan until they decided to drop SMS. Now it's just an app with 1% of my friends.
Why are you attached to sms?
Because that's the universal text messaging platform - everybody's got it. And because we're receiving messages from companies via SMS.
Yeah. I don't care about that. Security trumps convenience for me and i have to say that signal is pretty convenient.
