As I understand it, the phone number requirement won't be going away - it's just the requirement to share it with your contacts that they're abolishing.

- btreecat 3y agoSeems like the right level of tradeoff to prevent abuse and enabling privacy, did you have a different expectation in terms of balance?
- Vinnl 3y agoNo, that's perfectly fine for me too, just wanted to be accurate and manage expectations :) (In fact, I do still expect public phone numbers to be the "default", i.e. encouraged, experience, because of its viral properties. This is also fine by me, as I want Signal to be used by as many people as possible.)
