- tdkl 10y agoI tried Wire after this WhatsApp news came out initially and brought about 10 people (friends/family) to it. They're satisfied how it works.
- codethief 10y agoSignal does work with MicroG (https://microg.org/ https://microg.org/), an open source reimplementation of Google Play Services.
