Delete WhatsApp, use Signal Private Messenger instead

Also, here is a pretty decent write-up: https://fossbytes.com/signal-vs-telegram-which-is-the-best-whatsapp-alternative/

Decided to do the right thing today: Install Signal, give it a try, start to convince others to switch. My wife and I both installed it from Apple's app store -- and we both can't even get through the registration:


--- Code: ---SignalServiceKit.NetworkManagerError-Fehler 0.
--- End code ---

Two separate devices; two separate networks (DSL & GSM); same result over the last 4 hours.
Sorry, Signal. That's a Fail.

Halcyon:
Very unusual. I'd just try again. Perhaps network issues are preventing you from registering?

Well, damn, I never knew that, you're right, it's not even available on iPads with 4G and a SIM, I wonder what the reasoning behind that is

Similar “reasoning” to Netflix and others not releasing certain videos in certain locations while the rest of the world has it. They just like to get up your nose, I think.

IanB:
In case anyone is unaware, Signal experienced a vast increase in the number of users the past few days (tens of millions) and their servers collapsed under the strain. They are  trying to restore service, but they have to greatly increase capacity to cope with the influx.

Probably there will be updates here: https://twitter.com/signalapp/status/1350118809860886528
