I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

@GravitySpoiled I love this, I had a very similar situation with my sports group, litte questions asked as well! Best thing was the reaction from the leader "I you are kind of right anyways, we should get rid of WhatsApp."
Problems only appeared later down the line with people complaining that they don't get notifications and it's not a habit for them to check it, so they don't see new messages.
