I used to use Signal exclusively rather than Whatsapp, but I've had lots of issues sending media. This has not been a problem with Whatsapp, so I've recently begun to use Whatsapp more. There are also issues with message history that I've encountered on Signal that don't exist on Whatsapp.

If Signal could address these concerns I'd be happy to move away from Whatsapp.

With this news I'll likely need to reassess my use of Whatsapp again.

WhatsApp’s desktop app is also a good deal better. Signal is very mobile-centric which I’m sure makes sense for a lot of people, but I’m sitting in front of a real keyboard for most of my days and so it’s a nice when desktop clients are first-class citizens and not afterthoughts.

It’s frustrating that it’s basically only Telegram and WhatsApp that take desktop platforms seriously.
