Why are you comparing Signal to Telegram? Telegram keeps all of your conversations on their servers in plain text, not to mention any other metadata. Signal only keeps your registration time and last login time. Yes it uses your phone number to do this, but they don't have anything else. Not even your contact list or who sent a message, they just know a blob went somewhere.

yeah, I never really understood how people keep putting the two products in the same space. they're really not the same thing.
