Sadly, as much as I&#x27;d like to use Telegram or Signal rather than the usual suspects (sms, whatsapp, facebook messenger), it would require someone on the other end to receive my messages.<p>The likelihood of convincing my friends&#x2F;family to use a messaging app that isn&#x27;t any of the usual suspects is low to none. And none of my bleating about privacy issues will convince them otherwise (&quot;I&#x27;ve got nothing to hide, doesn&#x27;t bother me&quot;).
