The shift over the last few days is that where WhatsApp was seen as the default way to communicate, Signal now became the default. I'm still on WhatsApp but reduced my usage by 95% in favor of Signal now that most of my thread or individual users switched to Signal. It will take time but hopefully WhatsApp will become irrelevant in the long run.

It was very entertaining seeing all my group chats move one by one to Signal now that there is a critical mass of users that agree that it is the right choice. I tried to make it happen in the past and it was too much a pain to convince people that Signal was way better than WhatsApp.
