If you use Android then Conversations is probably your best choice. Some people won’t use it because it requires them to create an XMPP account on some server, which apparently is too much trouble. Signal is more appropriate for normies who just want to open an app and have it work like WhatsApp out of the box. (It supports iOS as well.)

There is blabber.im, which uses a fork of Conversations and also runs a federating XMPP server: https://blabber.im/ Or if you want phone number linking there is: https://quicksy.im/ from the original Conversations developer.
