| I think I started with my wife to test it out myself. Then the younger ones. Started discussing it with my siblings, pointed out a number of ways in which Telegram was better, asked them if they really wanted to play into the hands of Facebook (this was before WhatsApp got E2E-encryption I think). Same with my wifes family. With them they suddenly just jumped at it and switched one afternoon. My family however took over a year I think until suddenly my until then deeply sceptical sister told everyone that she'd leave WhatsApp and those who wanted to be along should join her on Telegram. And I said nothing and was just happy. Before and in between those two events everyone else changed: - church groups - sports groups - all kinds of groups for planning and organizating all kinds of stuff Some needed a little nudge, others went all by themselves. At some point Telegram became so much better as to be contagious: I heard a number of people not wanting to leave WhatsApp but after they started to use Telegram nobody ever wanted to go back. Long story short: Start with close friends. Start it as an experiment. Start with the young ones, let them nag their parents and coaches and everyone to change :-) (For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Telegram is extremely much more user friendly and powerful compared to WhatsApp in the same way WhatsApp was extremely much more user friendly and powerful than sms.) |
