Switching from WhatsApp to any other messaging service isn't a realistic option for quite many places. I'd be more than willing to switch but of all the people in my contacts (including my entire customer base) there's like 3 people using Signal but every single one of them has WhatsApp. Even the 60+ year olds.
There is always SMS for these.
At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat
WhatsApp's a scam, anti-libre software.
Yes but it is still better than SMS.
Saying it's secure feeds their scam. At least we don't pay for it like SMS.
You still pay for SMS? Wtf, what country do you live in? Most postpaid mobile plans these days only charge for data usage. In which case, your still paying to use WhatsApp.
