Signal is working on a standalone version of its desktop app that does not require a smartphone. Signal Desktop will also gain additional options when used as a linked device.

    It really isn’t, and recently there have been claims that WA has 3ssentially backdoored its encryption and can read everything.

        Plenty of reasons: inertia, vendor lock-in network effect, lack of knowledge or awareness, or plain ol’ stupidity.

        But on a less pessimistic note: I’m pleased to say that I can reach pretty much all of my contacts via Signal these days. It’s reached critical mass where I am.
