I understand all of the technical arguments for using Signal, but I have less than 10 contacts using it, whereas everyone else uses WhatsApp.
For me, and I suspect a majority of 'lay' users, it's a numbers game.

Yep. A few more joined a couple of months ago when the Whatsapp privacy policy was updated but no more for months. It's a hard sell for a product that isn't as good in terms of functionality.

For me it was simply a case of refusing to use shite options and get people to use Signal if they want to talk to me. Maybe it helps being a psychopath but friends don't let friends use Whatsapp.

Also... to those who recommended staying on WhatsApp, or moving to Telegram... is it not somewhat clear why those in tech and tech security recommend Signal? It is a different breed altogether even if it just appears to be another messaging app.
