Threema or text messages. Sometimes calls.
Signal for a few friends, Telegram for everyone else.
Telephone
Internet. Mostly internet chat and calls.
whatsapp for family, because that's where family is.
nobody uses facebook to connect with family, they use facebook to connect with people from high school they haven't seen in 15 years and don't care enough about to actually keep in touch.
Delta Chat is encypted packets sent over email. Easy for whole family. Send, text, pics, files, push-to-talk messages, Jitsi videocall integration
Has an alternate UI too, DeltaLab.
itt: no answer
There are three main themes:
- Group chats in a messaging app.
- Call or text me, otherwise don't.
- I don't have/talk to family.
Personally, I'm a mix of 1 & 2. 1 for close family, 2 for everyone else.
Unfortunately it's WhatsApp. No matter how much I convince them to get rid of it (because I wanna get rid of it), they choose not to.
