I'm already using Signal as a secondary messaging service (since someone I know didn't use WhatsApp) so I'll just switch to that.
Luckily I don't have any friends on WhatsApp, so the transition will be easier. Let's see if my family cares enough about messaging me that they'll download Signal.

This 100%. So many responses talk about the "network effect", but realistically it only needs that one key person in everyone's phone book who refuses to use WhatsApp in order to move entire swathes of people to install Signal at least as a secondary app. Be that one person!
