FB Messenger is the standard messaging service in Denmark, nothing else comes close. At least for everyone I know, it has completely replaced anything else they previously used, and ordinary text messages are seen as old-fashioned and obsolete.
I've tried to get people to use Signal instead, but nobody cares enough to make the switch. "Everyone else is on Messenger, and I have an account already" is the most common reasoning.
- intsunny 7y agoI think part of the problem here is that the UI/UX of Signal (and Telegram) are just not very good. Both are off-putting experiences and in turn do little to motivate people to switch to them.
- dgellow 7y agoSeriously, Telegram UI/UX isn't good? That's the best user experience I know for a chat application and the main reason why I use it.
- unimpressive 7y agoYeah, hearing TG's UI/UX described as not good made me do a double take. It's the best UI I've ever seen in a chat app, and I've probably used at least a dozen by now.
- KozmoNau7 7y agoI find the UI/UX of Signal to be good enough that I used it as my default messaging app, even though I only have a few contacts who use(d) Signal. It took until Oreo/Pie for the stock messaging app to become equally good or better, and by then none of my contacts bothered with using Signal anymore. It's now 0% Signal, 0.1% text messages, 0.1% WhatsApp, 99.8% FB Messenger, which is really depressing.
- dannyw 7y agoYou can't export chats on Signal iOS, which sucks.
- marssaxman 7y agoWhat does it mean to "export chats" and why would you want to do it?
- dobleboble 7y agoI've seen a shift towards Slack and Discord, which seems good.
