My dad just said in the WhatsApp group, why not move to signal. I tried moving friends and family before, but now that there has been anti meta media reports in some news sources. But especially reports on signal in almost every major newspaper and news source.
It seems not only a push because of privacy, but even more a anti big tech(especially us tech) and buy/use eu stuff push.
I don’t mind the push I’m just curious if people stay on signal. Previous time there was a push to signal (during whatsapp technical difficulties and privacy push) people quickly want back to whatsapp.
Now my volunteer work, 1 friend and a family chat already moved to signal. The only thing I did was some explaining that you can just send images and so on. (That it’s not something scary)
Whatsapp unlike Signal doesn’t have usernames meaning a phone number must be used to contact others on it, and that Whatsapp’s report feature shares the unencrypted message and surrounding messages with Meta to give context for the report.
it is just a messaging app, legit the exact same. group chats, image and video, previews to links i send, it even has a way higher level of customisability that i haven’t found elsewhere.

Yes.
The only real differences we can think of is:
Whatsapp unlike Signal doesn’t have usernames meaning a phone number must be used to contact others on it, and that Whatsapp’s report feature shares the unencrypted message and surrounding messages with Meta to give context for the report.
