Signal is the non-corporate replacement for What's App although realistically you end up having both due to network effects.

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

Just start a new chat

This is what is happening to me, I can't force my folks to drop WhatsApp. Only a few have Signal

You can stop using WhatsApp without everyone agreeing with you. If they want to talk to you they'll find a way
