Lost a bunch of contacts after ditching WhatsApp a few years back but eventually managed to get most of my valuable ones to use Signal.
Work-wise everyone uses WhatsApp, for example my team has a group chat that I am not a part of, so I am losing some info on that side.
When traveling I also get a lot of prompts to use WhatsApp for example two hotels we stayed at this year did concierge only via WhatsApp.
P.S. Shameless plugin for /m/Signal

It seems that they only had it running for a limited user base, they are rolling it out to everyone now.
Signal is gaining message scheduling at long last with customizable date and time options.

Although I never used sms via Signal I agree on both points. The Stories venture was such a flop.
In this Signal review, we’ll look at the capabilities, usability, and security that Signal offers. We’ll also talk about how the design of the service provides extremely strong protection for your privacy. Signal is truly impressive, so let’s cut the chatter and dig in to the review.
