Signal is fine for a drop-in WhatsApp replacement. I use it for chatting to my friends casually. For something you need more security for you could do encrypted emails as that doesn't require exchanging phone numbers, or ideally just arrange to meet up in-person and discuss things so you don't leave any kind of digital or paper trail.
Yes, meet up, place your phones on the table, and discuss 👍 Facebook ads won't change at all 😉

Obviously you don't have your phones on you. Otherwise what's the point of meeting up in person.
You don't use your phone outside of the house? I must be the only one then. My bad.

Not if I don't need to, like if I need to have a conversation with someone that doesn't need to be overheard. In any case turning your phone off and putting it in a faraday bag then putting it somewhere relatively noiseproof should be more than enough if you need to bring your phone with you.
Sounds like something everyone does for sure. When I sit in public transport or go out to eat, nobody has their phone one them, and if they ever do, it's safely tucked away in a faraday cage 👍

Most people are not privacy-conscious. I don't get what your problem is. If you won't do something just because the majority of people don't, then why are you on [email protected]? Go back to Facebook and Twitter and Google then
