Thank you for that information. I wasn't aware of that. Luckily there are other messengers / protocols like Threema, Matrix, XMPP or Delta Chat. @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de made a great comparison chart of messengers. https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html
Signal is my messenger of choice but I use others as well.
