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?

    Telegram has a better UI and desktop app. That might be the reason why some people prefer it

      More features too. What does Signal have? Stories. The kind of people who gravitate towards Signal are not the type to use Stories. I personally use Signal and try to get people to use it as much as possible, but that Stories feature is really a head scratcher, when they could have done some better and more useful features.
