> trick I’ve developed, when giving my contact info to new people, is to enter my phone number on their smartphone myself, and install Signal for them

I too have no social media nor smartphone, but this made me cringe...I TOTALLY understand his pain-point and it's tough to not be on Whatsapp, but to go above-and-beyond for privacy reasons, and then install an app on someone's phone without their consent?

But it is a great article! I love the watch and it's something I'm going to look into for myself!

I'd like to assume he meant that he would walk them through installing Signal, and not just install it without them asking. I can't imagine what that interaction is like...
