Unfortunately it’s difficult to get people to switch to it
And they didn't make it any easier by removing SMS support from the mobile app.
It was pretty easy to get a couple of my friends to switch by saying it's just another SMS client that also supports highly encrypted messaging with other people that use Signal. Now that it's standalone, nobody will even fucking touch it.
Yeah I got rid of Signal when they got rid of SMS because literally nobody I've ever met uses it and they're not gonna switch.
It's unfortunate, I had just gotten a few people to take it up.... but that progress is lost. People prefer convenience over all else and having to use 2 different primary message apps sucks.
If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…
