I did the switch a long time ago, but most people I know still use WhatsApp, even if they use Signal just to talk to me. Actually, I don't think there's a single person I know who just has Signal.

Some people just recently found out that WhatsApp belongs to Facebook and were floored. But not enough to get rid of it. There's even a friend of a friend who refuses to install Signal - even in this political climate, despite being a vocal critic of the USA. Some people are just hypocrites.

At least they use Signal to talk to me, and sometimes only me, so that's a good thing. Real homies :)
