    That’s a lost fight, at least in my circle and in my circles’s circles. It was already difficult to move some of them to Signal and Telegram but even then, they kept using Whatsapp.

    It should be managed at nation /European Union level, they should forbid this shit.

      Signal is a bad app, you still cannot long press to select multiple photos. You have to select one and then press the add more button, open up a different gallery view and select multiple from there. But they add emojis and remove SMS support so woo. 😞

        And this makes it a bad app? Slight inconvenience and some less emojis? You’re right that it needs improvement, but I’ll happily accept this in exchange for not just another stupid big-tech company snooping around my personal stuff. I’m so fucking pissed at the constant privacy attacks from these evil ass holes

          Yeah that makes it a bad app, they removed a huge feature that makes it difficult to get less privacy conscious people over to it and it is focused on gimmicky features instead of.qualoty of life improvement. It is annoying to be missing easily implementable features that would not impact privacy.

          I still use it for the better part of a decade but I think it is a bad app for what it is trying to do.

        Write the code and make a pull request. If you can’t, at least open an issue and let them know.

          I have provided feedback for this and another issue and never once have I received anything back or seen a change.

          To be honest the feature I’m talking about should be recognised by their team as missing and shouldn’t need an email but I did nonetheless.
