Signal Fork with WhatsApp Migration

I sent the link to my elderly parents. They both installed it on their Android without a problem. Then I received a video call from my mum - she'd installed the desktop app by herself.

So, get better parents?

You joke, but the real world version of that exists and involves children and divorce proceedings.

Mine too. And I tried the Signal video calls the first time with her, they work much better than Zoom or Jitsi! And she already knows how to use the app and I could uninstall WhatsApp. m
