not barely enough
not much. most of them are still using telegram believing durov is a good guy
Everyone I’m close with uses Signal. Family, friends and even some coworkers.
this is the type of question i would only answer on signal
12 family members, 3 friends.
I got my parents and a few friends. I take longer to answer anywhere else.
We are a matrix family, mind you.
2 that I know of, but that’s the majority of my social circle (not working, no family). The other people I don’t think would want to because it’s different and difficult and those are “leave everything at default” sort of people when it comes to tech, so lost cause anyway.
Both the people who do use it are there because of me, though!
My partner and I were struggling when I was android and they were iOS, there was delays that threw everything out of order, so we tried a few messaging apps that worked cross platform and I found signal and we started using it together, and my friend started using it when dating a new person because e2ee for naughty photos and stuff, at my suggestion. They were using Snapchat and I was like ummmm… no. Don’t do that. But we use it to talk all the time now.
None, they barely had the energy to switch to Telegram while staying on WhatsApp when it became popular a few years ago. Nobody wants to take it seriously because they “have nothing to hide”.
Only 2 IRL friends, family no they’re too stubborn and don’t care for privacy
Three fiddy
In theory everyone around me does. I have refused to use whatsapp and fb messenger and the like for around 10 years now. As a result I don’t have contact with the majority of people I used to call friends as they refused to use anything else.
Consequently my immediate family use it and a few friends that actually cared to stay in touch do.
I have a couple of hold outs who I have contact with but pretty much everyone I’m in regular contact are on signal now.
