I was hoping to move to signal in the whatapp network. Unfortunately in Brazil you cannot live without whatapp.

You could try and run both

Keep whatsapp, and slowly switch contacts to Signal (it might just be close friends and family). That's what people around me are doing

My wife told me to fuck off when I installed signal on her phone 😔

Haha, that’s kinda funny. Then people are like.

Just tell your friends and family to stop using iMessage. Like everyone will be ok to switch their routine just like that.

It's definitely not for everyone. For me it's

some use signal with me / others exclusively, sending the occasional message elsewhere when on a certain device or sharing within a platform
some use signal for sensitive conversations, and use other platforms most of the time
some just don't. If I need to have a sensitive conversation with them, I do it in person

Sounds like you need some matrix bridges in your life.

It's on my list of things to explore soon 😄
