My reference is regarding signal removing SMS and how ~75% of my messaging is SMS. If signal still offered SMS, it would make having others switch much much easier. I do use a security and privacy based VOIP service for sms and calls currently. But the moves I make are almost always much more than my friends are willing to do.
How are they switching if they're still using SMS? Get them to install signal is getting them to install signal...
At the point they can use Signal SMS for everyone else, but direct Signal for you, in the same app, you've effectively converted them.
They need to install signal either way..
I haven't used SMS for like 8 years.
What's another app?
You haven't, but you're not trying to convert you.
Baby steps. First they get used to the interface, then they transition.
