As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…
Cheers

With the phone number, no; and since there’s no Signal usage without a phone number, well…. Also, I think somewhere on their website (or some place) they talked about burner phones as if it’s a universal phenomena.
Signal has felt “out of place” to me. Odd. It doesn’t fit in, doesn’t make sense if I think a bit farther about it.
I hope something decentralised comes out of Signal protocol minus the need for a phone number.
SimpleX uses Signal tech AFAIK but without requiring phone number or email address.
You are talking about session. Session is a signal fork, and you don’t need phone number. But there is some concerns about its security as, in order to properly work, it removed some signal features, I’m not qualified enough to understand if it’s truly a security risk or not. But the option to use it is there.
I used it for a couple years, but came back to signal because I had so many issues with media sharing.
