Finally installed signal. I have 220 phone contacts and 1 had it installed. Uphill battle here. WhatsApp and imessage are so prevalent in the UK

Meanwhile in Norway, of 520 phone contacts (of which many are things like cabs, restaurants, realtor from way back when) – 83 are on signal. And it's not like I have particularly privacy-conscious friends, that I know of.

That is an interesting datapoint. I'm going to keep it installed, hopefully then if somebody I know does install it they will see i'm a user.
