Signal Rolling Out Usernames to Keep Phone Numbers Private
• Signal usernames will allow you to keep your phone number private when using the messaging app • You'll be able to create a unique username and share it via link or QR code instead of your phone number • Usernames can be changed or deleted at any time and must contain at least 2 numbers to prevent spoofing • Your phone number will no longer be visible to all contacts by default with the new usernames • Spammers may eventually abuse the new username system, so verify new contacts outside of Signal before messaging
