Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

Using Signal is incredibly easy. Unless your friends are too incompetent to even install an app, they can be set up in a couple of minutes.

Notice I said using and not switching, because there's no need to pick just one.

They are incompetent enough. They also see no reason to switch. They will tell you that other apps will also use your data and that Whatsapp is working fine for what they do with it. Doesn't matter if it's true.

Some even use the status to share stuff like Instagram and are addicted to it.

They'll tell you that there's no point in installing two apps. I've had that topic often enough.

You originally said nobody was skilled enough. It seems what you really meant is nobody cares enough.

Unfortunately, that's the actual reason in my experience. I got most friends and family to run Signal next to WhatsApp though.

You underestimate how tech-dumb the majority of people are
