        Or if you want to check your messages on more than one device. I don’t like telegram much but I use it because I can access my messages from both my phone and tablet, signal is locked to my phone and my pc.

        You’re right. You don’t have a choice in the matter. There is no other way to communicate.

        Sorry, I forget what it’s like to be 15.

          I don’t forget what it’s like to be 15, because I had a great childhood, but I also grew up and started doing crazy things like moving out, renting a home, etc, and if your landlord requires you to download WhatsApp, or any other app to communicate, you do it. Otherwise you’ll find yourself on the street, messaging yourself on Signal lmao.

      Not that simple, unfortunately :( The problem is that one particular vendor (Meta) controls the client - the app - to the service (Whatsapp). Right now we can only hope that Signal doesn’t add this kind of feature. There are already cryptocurrency features in the Signal app of dubious utility.
