No, not really. Extra PIN requirements make Signal unusable for lots of people. No proper chat backups makes Signal undesirable. That it mostly works the same might be true for you, but any minor difference is a problem for mom&pop.

You are so right, it hurts. There is nothing I would like more the to be an avid fan boy of Signal but it is just not ready for prime time.

I have used it for years, and the people and topics discussed there are specific. Just like they are even more specific in Threema. That is when you do (not) care for the lack of features since the return is worth it.

Not sure if I am (socially) capable of leaving WhatsApp.

Umm... Chat backups in signal are a thing. Settings > Chats and Media > Chat Backups.

Is there a specific feature of chat backups you are missing on Signal?

I don’t see that menu item on iOS
