I've been using Signal, but it seems everyone else I know, except my
immediate family, uses WhatsApp.

I was using both, but finally decided to drop WhatsApp. I sent a message
to several people... nobody switched. I don't care. My most important
contacts (mother, sister, a couple of friends) were already using
Signal. Non Signal users can text me through old school SMS.

 
I tried Signal, but nobody else did, whereas everyone is on MMS/SMS here.
 
Since I'm in the USA where unlimited everything is ubiquitous for a single
price per month, I use "normal" messaging apps (e.g., PulsSMS) for SMS/MMS.

No one outside of the USA is using such primitive stuff for private
communication.
