So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal seriously enough to actually use it, it really bums me out that there are these far superior options but without anyone else using them they’re pointless…

Anyway what apps do you use to stay in touch with people?

    Yeah I work on a similar system

    WhatsApp in general Telegram for the wife Signal for the wife whilst one of us is working (with notifications on silent)

    SMS for everything else.

    It’s nice having things compartmentalized.

      Not sure if you alredy know this, but just in case - you can send messages silently for recipient in Telegram.

      Just long press Send button and you will get 3 more options: send without sound, send when online and schedule.
