WhatsApp's call quality is second to none. Also the fact that it's ubiquitous, and its sync just works, makes it difficult to move to anything else. Everyone's on it in South Africa. I think we can only hope for regulation to keep it safe and force interoperability with other chat apps.

Never going to happen unless legally forced to. Which is not happening any time soon in the USA.

>WhatsApp's call quality is second to none. Never had a problem with Signal - in fact I've had situations where it's been a better option than anything else available to me.

This simply must happen. I don't think there is another sustainable solution to the network-effect problem.
