Not sure if any of you have encountered the same resistance to using Signal. Some of my cousins refused to use Signal because they are already using “too many chat apps” (e.g. WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Telegram, Line, Snapchat, etc.). To them, Signal will just be another chat app among their numerous other chat apps. I understand that jumping between so many messaging apps imposes some kind of cognitive and maintenance burden. What are some ways to convince such people to use Signal?

    Actually, it should be easier to convince these people. If they are already used to 2+ IM apps, then what’s the issue with adding one more? Ask them if you are important enough for one more app. 😀

    Problem is for people who only have one app, and find it too bothersome (or confusing, for non-techie / old people) to use more than one app.
