Please Signal, use this opportunity. I really want to be on Signal AAAAH
Why not convince people to use Signal as well? Even my family has a group chat on Signal. Of course, it’s a slow move with most people sticking to non-open chats. But it’s worth the effort I would say.
It might work with people you know but is harder to convince people you just met, that’s the reason I still use Whatsapp and recently opened an Instagram.
I really don’t expect anyone would listen to me.
The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.
You can. Up to 7.
Is there a guide to this? I still can’t use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.

This worked for me!
I don’t think that’s Signal haha
Aw man, I missunterstood everything :(
I dislike when they say in news clips that Signal represents the “current gold standard” for E2EE chats, it doesn’t, Signal is a helluva lot better than the commercial stuff that mines user data but there’s stuff like SimpleX Chat that doesn’t leak even metadata because it doesn’t have it.
Still, this is a good thing, these megacorps have their iron grip on people because they have raised walls around their services making it painful for people to move to a different service, tearing down those walls can only help us all.
Would this mean I could finally ditch what’s app and use only Signal?
No, Signal announced they won’t implement interoperable messaging.
Source?
Ugh, an ad-block force wall. No visit.
