I mean you followed Snowden right?

I would argue that if you are relevant enough apple and sms are both equally easy to get for them.

If we talk here about signal, I don't think the alternative should be iMessage but telegram etc.

Anecdotal evidence, but I've never had someone ask me to join Telegram.

In terms of encrypted messaging, the popularity in my friend group is:

1. iMessage

2. Signal

3. WhatsApp (only for talking to non-US people)

4. Matrix
