I used it on Android before and now iOS, and used the desktop app on Windows. I switched immediately when there was some news about WhatsApp’s security or company policies being crappy, I forget what the issue was now but at the time it was alarming to me. Plus I wasn’t a fan of Facebook as the owner so yeah.
I’m considering trying out Matrix but haven’t gotten into it yet.
@administrator Same history here I also did quite a lot of beta testing and feedback rounds on the official forum. Managed to convert most of my family and friends. Matrix is next on my radar as well.

I've been using with my girlfriend for a couple of years also. Can't convince other friends/family into it unfortunately

@asjkk8 I went cold turkey and quit whatsapp. Told everyone that if they want to reach me, it would have to be on Signal.

@administrator What platform are you using Signal on? What did you use before?
