Why not convince people to use Signal as well? Even my family has a group chat on Signal. Of course, it's a slow move with most people sticking to non-open chats. But it's worth the effort I would say.
Yeah after two years even my parents and brother are on signal plus most of my close friends, the rest I just use regular sms
The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.
You can. Up to 7.
Is there a guide to this? I still can't use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.

This worked for me!
I don't think that's Signal haha
Aw man, I missunterstood everything :(
I really don't expect anyone would listen to me.
How could they, they aren't on signal
It might work with people you know but is harder to convince people you just met, that's the reason I still use Whatsapp and recently opened an Instagram.
Yeah, but you can still chat with them on the insecure messenger. You can have both on your phone.
What would be the win if signal would support sending messages to WhatsApp? You'd still be putting your trust into meta.
I do have both.
I didnt say anything about the interoperability. I can imagine some wins... but nothing game changing tbh.
