Signal may not be as popular as other messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram, but it’s still a great option. Some users have said that they feel more secure using Signal than WhatsApp, for example.
Signal’s end-to-end encryption is one of the many features that make you want to use the app. Since it makes you feel safe, you want the same for your family and friends. That’s why you’ve probably told them about the app and maybe even tried to convince them to switch.
But if words haven’t been enough, you can try to convince them by sending them an email or text message. The good news is that the process is short and simple. So if you’ve just started using the app or you’re not too tech-savvy, you’ll still be able to do it.
