I'm curious: why not? Is it just name recognition of WhatsApp? Are people unwilling to create a new account? and if so, what made them willing to create a WhatsApp account?
- rglullis 5y agoYes, people have not heard of it before and are just used to WhatsApp. The few that were at least aware of the issues with WhatsApp were proposing Telegram and/or Signal, depending mostly on if they had one or the other already installed. I know that the onboarding process from the Element client still is quite painful, and I didn't want to play tech support for a group of 30+ German parents and teachers. > What made them willing to create a WhatsApp account. The easiest authentication/onboarding process ever. That was the 19 billion dollar problem they cracked.
