i don’t like that Telegram is close to blackmail me of uploading my contacts. I have it but nobody i know has asked me to use Telegram or Signal.

i use Whatsapp.

this is a worthwhile topic.

i don’t recall if anything bugged me on signal.

Signal appeared to be the leading contender for new champion.

the furor faded away.

But if it happens again, I will switch to wherever my friends are.

FB itself is harder to dislodge in my region. more than dominant.

I don’t have signal, but I do have whatsapp. Whatsapp messages are definitely not being ‘routed’ to the text app.

If this is really happening call or text Apple support and ask for help. They are smart, answer quickly, and it is free. As you know Apple is one of the few companies that give a shit about user privacy.

I’d start there, and then contact signal.
