    I got my sister to install Signal so that we could more security send financial receipts back and forth, etc. But I have another friend that doesn’t want to install it because, “…it’s another app I have to deal with…”.

      When people make this statement I never understand it. My mother also keeps saying that she does want to deal with anymore apps than she has. What exactly does she mean by that. The app updates are automatic and the app just exists on the menu when not used. It is not like the app needs maintenance/tweaking to run
