It's like saying no one uses Facebook or Google anymore. That's true for certain bubbles, and it's hard to know when you're in one, but, say least for those two, it's not too hard to look outside your bubble.
Now the cryptocurrency integration, that one I do wonder about. (Since my friend group doesn't use it and I'm extrapolating :) ).
Your comment makes me curious: I do really wonder how this feature is used. Signal announced it was really something users were looking for. I wonder if it was a weak attempt at convincing the Instagram crowd or if it is really popular with some population.
In the end, I’m still angry that they removed SMS support. That was really useful to have only one messaging app on my phone.
This is why I don't begrudge sending telemetry for how I'm using software. As a developer myself, I really want to know if the code I'm writing is at all appreciated or if I'm just coding into the void, so I'm happy to send stats on how some one else's software is getting used.
Calm down there buddy, I just asked a question.
