This may sound a bit dumb, but eh.
So when that WhatsApp privacy policy change thing happened in early 2021, I tried switching from WhatsApp to Signal and Telegram. Telegram kinda stuck with me since i still get news from there, but Signal… not really because I didn’t care about privacy back then. Now, I want to make the switch from WhatsApp to Signal, and I have a few plans on how to do that. But, is it worth it, since most people in Türkiye use Whatsapp and even if I switch my family and friends over to Signal, they’ll still use WhatsApp since most people are on there.
So, yeah. Should i try, or is it not worth doing? Let me know, also, thanks in advance!
(Note: Most of my family and friends don’t really care about privacy.)

It worth the effort, let them discover Signal as an alternative to Whatsapp, they can still use Whatsapp if they want, I don’t see a probelm with that, but let then know you will only use Signal from now-on for personal reasons. My familly migrated in 2021 and most of my friends are also reachable on Signal now. I think many can enjoy the simple and straightforward design of Signal.
