I’ve found that my circle of contacts use the default messaging app for group chats even more now. I couldn’t get them to use Signal but at least they’re posting in the RCS group chat more instead of on Meta platforms.

Where? I‘ve Signal installed and literally only 2 contacts use it.
I have a feeling most people click the maximum privacy “hide from contacts” option at the start, probably not thinking it through. And that means you wouldn’t be able to see them. You can try searching manually as that sometimes seems to find them.
That said, when I asked people who texted me “do you have Signal?” I think about 50% said yes and the other 50% were able to download it without issue.
People are downloading a messaging app for you?
I wish I was you. Here no one wants to download a second messaging app just to chat with one person. Why would they? Everyone is on WhatsApp. No one cares about privacy and that the app is owned by Meta (Facebook).
I’ve never even heard of signal
That’s awesome, now you know!
