I had to do this in my group and other than security a major benefit is just that getting potatos instead of pictures has significantly declined.&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#x27;s my advice: don&amp;#x27;t sell security as the foremost feature. Sell it as &amp;quot;iMessage, but for everyone.&amp;quot; You got stickers, reactions, high quality videos and images. Then mention security, it is the cherry on top.</text></comment>

I am a stubborn old man at the age of 40, and I really prefer to type on a keyboard. It had a great UI, it always delivered messages, and syncing between devices was seemingly instant. iMessage, somehow, is still not perfect at syncing between devices, and while Signal is quite good at that, it&amp;#x27;s a pain to start using on a new device, as it doesn&amp;#x27;t bring along your message history. (For legitimate reasons, mind you.)</text></comment>
