BTW: I dropped WA years ago as well. I told everybody important to me
and gave them the channels to reach me. In total I operate 5 messengers.
It is so easy. No one should ever have an excuse not to be able to reach me.

Adding Signal next to WA isn't difficult at all. I send them the URL,
but still they won't install it.

 
I have them all installed (except Threema), but nobody in my circle uses
anything except whatsapp. And some SMS from businesses.

I gave up WA many years ago on my iPhone and I'm not missing anything
and I can easily communicate with everybody having a smartphone.

And it has a reason why someone is using Signal and not WA.

For Signal and other providers like Telegram, Threema and even iMsg
interoperability would mean instant suicide. Why should anyone use them
instead of the "original"?

In this case the authorities are undermining competition instead of
promoting it.

WA is rather for housewives and adolescent people.
