Signal Enhances Privacy with Username Feature, Keeping Phone Numbers Private

The new feature, currently in beta, allows users to connect without revealing their phone numbers, reinforcing Signal's commitment to privacy.

Signal introduces a new feature allowing users to create unique usernames, enhancing privacy by enabling connections without sharing phone numbers.
The feature, currently in beta, aims to address privacy concerns and prevent unauthorized access to users' phone numbers.
Users will still require a phone number to register on Signal, but can now keep it private from others on the platform.
Signal's approach to usernames differs from social media platforms, with no searchable directory and usernames not visible unless shared.
The update is part of Signal's ongoing efforts to provide secure and private communication, reinforcing its reputation among privacy-conscious users.
