I registered my Signal account with a burner number not linked to any SIM card, and thus I didn't use it as my SMS app. Don't know if it's default behavior when you register it with the phone number attached to your SIM or not.
I agree the permissions (especially the forced contact discovery) is problematic.
- reacharavindh 7y agoI thought of doing the same until I realized that it's a silly workaround. If I ever need to restore my account or forget password or change device, I'd need the same burner phone... it's a burner anymore now is it? And then I gave up because of the forced contact discovery... it's a pity. I wish there was a popular chat service that worked more like Blackberry. Central network but just pseudonymns instead of the phone number.
