Perhaps a silly question, but what do y’all with privacy-indifferent friends do for chatting? I have signal for a few friends, and telegram for my spammy computer science friend group chat, but the great majority of my friends are iMessage/SMS/Facebook contactable only (and I deleted Facebook).

How do you either convince them to switch or limit your privacy risk in chatting with them?

@jenn iMessage is fine security-wise (end-to-end encryption), at least much better than SMS or Facebook Messenger. I believe Signal on Android supports SMS as well so maybe you could convince some people to switch by making it their default SMS app.

Otherwise, just be careful what you say over SMS! There’s no convincing some people lol
