You should also put your efforts towards getting apple on RCS. Then you wouldn't need to have multiple apps.
They won't use it until they are forced to 100%. iMessage has become a reason people get iphones. Peer pressure at its finest.
At least in the EU they will be forced to do something, with the DMA going into effect next year.
And if one big market forces them, chances are they'll adopt these changes worldwide to have no fragmentation to worry about.
I believe Apple successfully demonstrated iMessage does not meet the minimum user threshold to be forced to open that platform to third party applications.
They did? Okay, that's kinda funny, actually
I think it was something like 10% of the EU population has to use a platform, before it is mandated to be open. I message isn't that popular currently. I agree it is very hilarious
I guess that checks out. WhatsApp is by far the most popular messaging service in Europe, even some Apple users take it over iMessage between one another
How do you convince them to use Signal? I would like to use your tactics
Hey Bob, I got these photos I should send you, do you have signal? No, you really should, end to end encryption is a basic human right. Here hand me your phone I'll help you set it up. Hey look at that you got a bunch of people already using signal. All right here are the photos I promised you.
Alright. This is basically the tactic I used with my dad and it worked so I think I'm doing alright!
I have some fruit booter friends. I peer pressured then into signal the same way other people peer pressuresd them into buying an iPhone.
I think it's pretty poetic.
