> the basic usability of all chatting apps I saw is basically the same. Are you sure? Something tells me if I have to be called to show how one needs to use Signal if it was just as easy to use as WhatsApp, then something is wrong there; usability-wise. For example, chat backups in Signal is less usable than WhatsApp. All chats are lost once a user changes their device, phone number, factory resets or loses their phone. As some pointed out, the extra PIN requirement is a trade off that favours security over usability, so there's the risk of putting people off from using Signal and it can't be turned off or avoided. > When the hype around Signal dies down, and people are trying to get all their friends to migrate from WhatsApp to Signal, it’ll be the UX that makes all the difference. Absolutely put. Small things like this make the difference between why someone will stay on Signal forever or for 1 month and it's back to WhatsApp for them. |
