Signal has moved away from using phone numbers
Since when? I still use a number it seems
I thought a few months ago? But maybe that's just when they stopped allowing SMS
Yeah. They stopped using sms a few months ago but divorcing from phone numbers is who knows when
Hm, when I go to settings it still has my number displayed even though I can't use it for SMS. It would be nice if they went to a un/ pw model one day. Then maybe I could use it on my phone and Android tablet at the same time :(
Not yet, lol.
When is the transition date?
They are already working on usernames but didn't provide a date
