never even heard of that.
Whatsapp and telegram are my main apps.
Never heard of it.
Used it for work once, most people still use WhatsApp for casual texting.
One of three basic apps, came after Whatsapp started some shit a few years ago, can’t even remember what.
Signal has been my only messaging app for years now, one of the best things was to get rid of whatsapp and FB messenger
The only people who I chat with on Signal are Finns so that tracks. I wish other people would switch too so that I could give up WhatsApp.
Only thing I know about signal is signalgate last year
Well this is an obvious ad.
I’ve convinced everyone I deem important contacts that I regularly message with to move to Signal like parents, sisters, grandparents, our team at work (off hours banter), closest friends etc. Most probably still have Whatscrap also but atleast I know our conversations are safe as they can be.
I know it by name. That’s it.
I use it only with a group of friends. We share a specific hobby and someone in our group has been using it so we use it for that.
I mainly use WhatsApp though.
It can be since everyone already have whatsapp so it’s not showing on top charts.
I have signal but don’t really use it because everyone is on whatsapp
Nice try NSA
I’ve used it solely after WhatsApp changed into a spam app.
I’ve been a Signal user since it was still under “Open Whisper Systems”, around a decade ago…
At the time, I just dropped WhatsApp and gave everyone I know a choice: either return to SMS / calls or download Signal. “My days of feeding Meta/Facebook my information are done.”
The intense resistance this was met with was quite something to experience. “If you ask me to download Signal why can’t you just download WhatsApp?”
No amount of “privacy”, “security”, or any other combination of words was sufficient enough, so I stopped bothering to explain. Over the years, most have come “back”, now on Signal.
I had to smile when a friend from long ago said “I remembered you use Signal so I had to try it because I don’t fucking trust Meta.” I hear you, loud and clear!
Now I fully understand the “5 types of adopters”. I was not an innovator, but maybe an early adopter. Most people I know are certainly “laggards”.

Life can be, uh… interesting.
