I was hoping to move to signal in the whatapp network. Unfortunately in Brazil you cannot live without whatapp.

You could try and run both

Keep whatsapp, and slowly switch contacts to Signal (it might just be close friends and family). That's what people around me are doing

I have both WhatsApp and Signal installed.

In the 3 years or so since I installed Signal, I haven't had a single conversation on it. Only a handful of people from my Contact book are showing as Signal users, and none of them people I speak to regularly.

I live in anticipation of someone deciding to message me on there, but I'm not exactly optimistic at this point.

I met one person a few months ago who also used signal primarily. It did feel weird adding someone normally. Usually when I add someone it's their first time with signal
