We're excited to introduce Message Summaries, a new option that uses Meta AI to privately and quickly summarize unread messages in a chat, so you can get an idea of what is happening, before reading the details in your unread messages.
A few years ago, I switched from WhatsApp to Signal. I told all my important contacts and groups that I’d delete WhatsApp at the end of the month and that they can either reach me on signal or using SMS from there on.
This was enough time to answer peoples questions and convince many people to install Signal too. My family now uses it, most of my friends do, and while all of them kept WhatsApp back then, they now use Signal to message each other.
So it is possible to make the switch and take lots of people with you.
I blocked Microsoft in WhatsApp and they reverted back to sending SMS messages. However, this won’t help if you (like me) I refuse to install Microsoft apps on your phone.
Why not do it now?
I’m already on Signal but nobody else is.
Everyone has whatsapp and not signal is pretty much the gist of it
My family uses it, work uses it, Microsoft 2FA uses it. It’s a hassle to try to change what other people use.

Can’t you switch MS 2FA to use text or their authenticator?
There’s no phone signal where I work and I’d rather not use their app if possible.
