Yes but atleast you're not visible to others edit: so in order to use this, you have to install the app - "deactivate it" and only then will it accept the unlisting. Fucking bs

BS but I imagine this is how they verify you own the number and prevent a rival app from executing a denial of services attack on them by unlisting everyone’s number.
This could also have been done using a simple OTP and on the number.
