Does anyone know where this is at? I thought WhatsApp were being forced by the EU in 2024 to introduce this under the Digital Markets App? I’m googling, but am finding very little info.
It would be great if we could use Signal to communicate with WhatsApp groups. The sooner I can delete WhatsApp the better.
This is pretty close to how I did it.
The “one or the other” thing is a fallacy. You have just one, but they’re clearly happy installing stuff like WA - so tell them to install another app. It’s not like they have to switch.
If they subsequently come to realise the value of Signal in time, all the better.
If installing both helped you, then perhaps that’s a good strategy for some. I’m more of a “leave the abusive relationship and cut ties” kind of person, which is why I don’t advocate for both at the same time. People often end up going back to the familiar option, rather than trying something new.
As a side note, that’s not what a fallacy is. Fallacies are invalid logical statements, and I didn’t make any false statements or present any sort of false dichotomy. A false dichotomy would be if I said something like, “You have to choose between Signal or WhatsApp,” which is obviously false because you can choose both.
Though again, that’s not something I advocate on purpose, due to the aforementioned issue I have with “being the product,” and it is not fallacious or deceptive to exclude the suggestion of installing both in light of that additional premise.
