I've read it requires a phone number so that it does not need to collect or store any (other) data on users.

  It also very shadily holds that number hostage, meaning you are forced to wait seven days after uninstalling the app in order to be able to unregister your number from signal. If you don't you'll just not get messages from people on Signal. My opinion of them is quite low thanks to the iMessage-tier bullshit.

    This certainly isn't the case with any version I've used. It's just Settings -> Delete Account, and its a large, red, very visible button.

      This certainly is the case when you don't have the app any more.
