      Why not convince people to use Signal as well? Even my family has a group chat on Signal. Of course, it’s a slow move with most people sticking to non-open chats. But it’s worth the effort I would say.

        I really don’t expect anyone would listen to me.

        It might work with people you know but is harder to convince people you just met, that’s the reason I still use Whatsapp and recently opened an Instagram.

        The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.

            Is there a guide to this? I still can’t use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.
