    The masses will migrate to WhatsApp, which is a step in the wrong direction in many ways. But Signal and WhatsApp both make it very easy to get started and find contacts, and that’s essential for anything most users will adopt. I don’t know of any Signal alternative that’s comparably secure and equally easy for a new user to get started with. Most truly secure messaging apps are quite difficult to get started with.
