I was using both, but finally decided to drop WhatsApp. I sent a message

That is why nobody switched.

 
They didn't switch because they don't know Signal and they don't want 2
messengers.

Aren't you important enough for them? Or they not important enough for
you to use WA?

My most important
contacts (mother, sister, a couple of friends) were already using
Signal. Non Signal users can text me through old school SMS.

 

Did ever someone do up to now? And who cares?

 
Yes, they did. Some of my contacts have been using SMS since they can't
reach me on WA anymore.

As a consequence they use 2 messengers.

What a pile of contradictions!

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.
