I feel the same way. Unfortunately friends and family just doesn’t use anything other than Whatsapp. I’ve tried moving some of them to signal but they were back on WhatsApp within a week or two.
I just stop communicating with them. I know, it’s not always possible, but I figure with other adults I can make it painful for them.
I despise SMS, yet people continually chat with me there. When they don’t hear from me I let them know I never got their messages, so the can see first hand how bad a tool it is.
I wish I could get rid of this garbage

That might be just it, the perfect excuse to help ppl move (double edged though, can be used against you too). Thanks for sharing this tip!
