It is. I currently can't use WhatsApp because my phone is broken, meanwhile I can happily chat away via Telegram. Same thing when my phone is off. Back when they didn't have WhatsApp Web you couldn't even use it on another device at all, but as slick as the UI it's still not really a proper solution.

Meanwhile Telegram has real FOSS clients for any platform you can imagine (there's a CLI version).

You should try Signal than because there it's possible.

Just FYI: I'm not arguing for Whatsapp. Just against the usability argument against Signal.
