Really? I find whatsapp light years ahead in terms of user experience. I'm a heavy user of Signal, and I'm cheering for their success, but they have a long way to go.
Really frustrating that three consecutive comments just claim "not as good, "same", "not as good". Would it be so hard to name a particular feature that matters to you when saying Signal is lacking? Otherwise what's the point of your comment?
Stupid thing I know but I liked the per chat configurable backgrounds in WhatsApp.
This reminds me of all the engineering behind engines, suspension etc but a customer will still pick a different car because they really don't like chrome air vents. Both front and back end equally as important I guess.
