junction we're in the same position. It amazes me how everyone can be so keen to transition to one service from SMS but then become so obstinately averse to then moving to something better because it is inconvenient.
I suppose it comes down to the fact that WhatsApp was the cheaper/media rich alternative offering something above SMS, it is also the reason I can imagine why Signal play around in the payments space as to move people en masse they have to have a significant enough differentiator too and why things like Session, Briar et all will also struggle to be more relevant outside their niche.
