Last night, I suggested switching to Signal in my family group text - Lemmy.World

This morning, my entire family either switched or said they already had a Signal account. Now we have a family Signal chat. I expected resistance, not compliance! I’m very happy.

My friends and I would love to switch to Signal but every time we try it we just find that the app isn’t very nice to use and a lot of functionality we have come to take for granted is missing. Has it improved recently or is that still the case?
I cannot find anything lacking in the app that exists in the default texting app. If you would like to provide specific examples, I can possibly give a better answer.
That’s a ridiculously low bar

Well, fair enough, but default texting was what we were using before so this is an upgrade.

Stickers don’t seem like something any of us need and you would have great trouble convincing me (and probably them) to use WhatsApp, so Signal works for us!

I haven’t used default texting since 2010 😅
To be fair WhatsApp is also pretty bad. Telegram used to be the gold standard but they’ve been making it more and more crappy for the last few years
