Signal is so much worse than WhatsApp from a UX perspective. Backup sync forces you to allow background permissions (WhatsApp doesn't), you have to set and get nagged to enter a PIN every few weeks (WhatsApp doesn't), there's no transcription for audio messages (WhatsApp has that for some languages), the desktop app loses its connection if you don't open it ever few weeks (WhatsApp works fine), etc.
If you want people to switch, recommend Telegram.

Why would people switch from always-end-to-end encrypted group chats to never-end-to-end encrypted group chats?
My circle switched to Signal because we are concerned about tech bros and a fascist America.
Boosting Russia is not the solution.
