Signal & Whatsapp are now vendor lock in for the apple/droid duopoly. :(

The 3G and 4G versions of that phone are Android-based, for context.

FWIW, Whisperfish, the unofficial Signal client for Sailfish OS works really well. An if I wanted, I could use the WhatsApp Android app on Sailfish via its App Support emulation layer.

With some caveats, I also successfully used whatsapp over matrix although that required to have whatsapp running on a separate device.
