I don’t know. I’m having a much better time getting friends to move to telegram than signal.
I prefer signal, but they all seem to prefer telegram as an alternative.

I've had a shockingly easy time getting my friends and family to move to signal.
There is literally only one person I have not gotten to move to it and that's because she just has so many contacts who won't leave Facebook.

Won't whatsapp then spy on signal users too ? Allowing a big tech like meta to cross message with other messaging platform is extremely dangerous.
Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.
No thanks.
Now that iPhones have RCS messaging, is something like this still desired? Can't everyone just use RCS instead (assuming that everyone has a somewhat modern phone/OS that supports RCS). Or am I not seeing something here?
Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it's called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?
The EU would like it, given that very few people here use SMS/RCS still.
