Not sure if any of you have encountered the same resistance to using Signal. Some of my cousins refused to use Signal because they are already using "too many chat apps" (e.g. WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Telegram, Line, Snapchat, etc.). To them, Signal will just be another chat app among their numerous other chat apps. I understand that jumping between so many messaging apps imposes some kind of cognitive and maintenance burden. What are some ways to convince such people to use Signal?

many people don’t like and thus left signal for

Is there any evidence of this? Because if anything, anecdotally, I've seen an increase in my circles and I've stopped trying to get people over after I convinced my small circle to hop on.

Anecdotal here : all my friends but one group chat dropped signal all together

Fair reply, but my point still stands, although maybe I was too vague. I would prefer data vs "well my experience is..."
