    For the people who want to use Signal but are stuck in WhatsApp land because all their contacts are on WhatsApp, you should download WhatsApp business and create an automated away message that says that you are only available via Signal and with a link to your Signal account (if you use a Signal username. ) People in my contacts are slowly switching to Signal.

    Ironically having a giant security breach happen in a security focused messaging app was good advertising.

    Of course in this instance the breach was not because of the app, which is a good thing I guess.
