I don't understand why people have such an issue running multiple messaging clients on the same phone. I've managed to move a large chunk of my WhatsApp friends onto signal, then block in WhatsApp to enforce the signal usage. Of course there are holdouts.

Simple: there's a messenger everyone is on. WhatsApp. There is no need to install anything else.

One of my friends who studied something IT related is adamant about having only one messenger installed. It's too complicated having 2-3 and not all contacts use either of the alternatives to WhatsApp.


Here in Sweden also everyone have multiple messengers installed due to no messenger ever reaching a critical mass. Both MSN Messenger and Skype were close at some point but neither succeeded.
