    Very unsurprising that Discord consumes a bunch of data but that’s not really a “messaging app”.

    If Signal is consuming too much data, it’s because you’re in too many group chats with photos and videos. You can change the settings so media will only download over Wi-Fi.

      Many people do use Discord as a messaging app. I am really only using it for private messages when I am on data.

      I only have two Signal contacts, and no group chats. Video is set to download only on WiFi, but I do need to be able to see images.

          You say that as if I don’t already know it. But what am I supposed to do, abandon every friend who prefers it?

            I don’t know what you know. You’re the one who said you were using it for “private” messaging. Just letting you know.

                I do know and understand the difference, which is exactly why I made the correction. I’m not being a dick, I’m trying to correct poor nomenclature. I’m not trying to convince anyone to do anything except make informed decisions. I’d argue that’s the opposite of being a dick. But thanks for weighing in.

                    The phrase “private messaging” has meaning, and it’s not up to you to decide what that meaning is.

                    Uhhhh I’m not “deciding” the meaning. It was decided long ago. And I’m not debating it any further with you. Goodbye.
