How many apps do they have installed? Are they very good friends if they won't install a single -- free -- app to stay in touch with you?
I was in a similar boat when I started using Signal in 2016. Now, everyone I care to talk to is on Signal. The rest can contact me via SMS alongside login TOTPs and dentist appointment reminders.
You don't have to compromise your values due to peer pressure.
You’re not wrong lol. I installed it again today and saw my mom already has it ! I don’t remember doing it for her and she had no idea she even had it lol but 1 down 9 to go lol
I use Signal, that said:
Is someone a very good friend if they won’t communicate with you because you won’t use their preferred app? That’s the real question you’ve presented.
You seem confused, if you’re trying to talk someone into using your preferred app that they may know nothing about, then you’re the one engaging in peer pressure, not the other way around.
