I can only speak for myself: In my circle, 99% of people are on WhatsApp with a handful on Signal. I have never come across the issue where I didn’t know how to contact someone. There’s badges and notifications, using multiple apps has been a solved problem on smartphones for 10 years.
It would be slightly nicer to have everything in one app, but it’s a non-issue for me at least.
WhatsApp and telegram are currently the best options for most people. I prefer signal but people just won’t use it because they haven’t heard of it
Signal will definitely be the app I’ll migrate to if WhatsApp annoys enough people to make them want to switch.
