I have literally 100% of my family and friends and coworkers on Signal (I'm based in Germany and Singapore).

So it can been done!!! I guess my friends suck then 😂😂😂. I got my two closest friends and family on signal. The rest won't budge.
Signal is taking off in Utah. Many people joining.
Whatsapp never caught on here.
This is more likely to happen in Europe, for a couple reasons.
1) Over 50% of Americans use an iPhone (I’m one of them), getting them to switch to a third party app that doesn’t offer anything over iMessage, is a big ask.
2)America is one country, obviously. And as such, are governed by the same federal laws throughout. Europe, being made up of many smaller countries, all with different federal regulations, makes switching to an app that is self governing, the smart choice.
