argument to install Signal is pretty easy - I just ask Android users if they use Facebook Messenger to manage SMS. if answer is negative I propose why not use different nice SMS client called Signal which can also do encrypted online instant messaging though many people are just too lazy to replace even ugly default Messaging app, so wet just use it with my wife and parents since I boycott Messenger/Whatsapp, just in case for video calls I have Skype Mingo (it's sad that out of billion people in India it's difficult to find one person which would upload always newest build to apkmirror)

That argument would not hold if someone knowledgeable is in the room as the same time[1]. Silence[2] would be the fork that actually does encrypted SMS and took it when Signal dropped it. Why give away your SMS to a messaging app that purposely dropped their encryption to focus on online chat which is useless to me as I don't have a data plan?
