I said it in a previous discussion and got downvoted and I’m saying it again, don’t trust anything for privacy if a phone number is still required as an ID/2FA. As of alternative, there are several ones, Session, SimpleX, element, Wire among others.

Here’s a comparison: https://divestos.org/pages/messengers

Yeah, I've never been happy with the fact Signal requires phone numbers as an ID. Beyond the privacy issues, there's also issues that I've encountered when someone used Signal (on iOS) and then stopped using it. Once they stopped using it, others who were still using Signal weren't able to message that person anymore outside of group messages. Honestly, the whole thing is a mess. Thank you.
