I'm a student, ALL my friends use WhatsApp, you want to talk with me? Signal. Come on today people have mobiles with at least 64GB of storage, delete your nudes and install Signal.
I wish I could do this. Facebook Messenger group chat is the platform of choice for organizing group projects at my university, and obviously I can't refuse to communicate with classmates for assignments. I tried suggesting other platforms but practically no one is interested. Other communication, I direct them to email or Matrix.
Personal chats is surely fine on other secure messengers, which is what my own OPSEC is. What I meant was that universities and schools have their groups for notes and announcements on WhatsApp, and one would not like to miss out on that essential information.
