I got lucky. Back when that privacy scare with Whatsapp made mainstream news my Aunt asked in the extended family chat what alternatives there were. I responded that I use SIgnal with my friends (all 2 of them on Signal at the time) and just like that everybody switched. 2 hours later my entire paternal family are on Signal, and still are.

    Right now someone in my family is in China, and has been there for a decade now. For that, and because more where in China before, our family group is on WeChat. And the years left of work for them in China is coming slowly to an end, and I am extatic for the day I'll propose we move to Signal and away from this 2,71GB app
