Matrix or Signal only for me. nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states, sms is simply insecure in every way, and telegram has very suspicious roots imo, along with a lack of e2ee and a terrible ui.
signal is the most secure option and matrix is federated making it the most "open" option.
I'm in the states, I know loads of people using whatsapp. I'm in several group chats.
congrats you're an outlier I suppose. I've only met maybe 5 people that know what Whatsapp is. telegram is marginally more popular but only because a lot of drug dealers use it (they would have better luck with matrix or even signal)
I'm surprised with the reactions to this. The only people I use whatsapp with are all outside the US. It's discord/telegram/sms for everyone in the US and it's miserable.
