Nowadays, a majority of apps require you to sign up with your email or even worse your phone number. If you have a phone number attached to your name, meaning you went to a cell service/phone provider, and you gave them your ID, then no matter what app you use, no matter how private it says it is, it is not private. There is NO exception to this. Your identity is instantly tied to that account.

Signal is not private. I recommend Simplex or another peer to peer onion messaging app. They don’t require email or phone number. So as long as you protect your IP you are anonymous

    No you all are SIMPs for signal. You all are promoting it like you work for them. All because you’re too stupid (lack of having information) to understand they are a bad choice for privacy

      How are you still unable to differenciate privacy and anonimity.

      And you are calling us stupid for using Signal…

      Seriously, use whatever you are comfortable with, but don’t spread misinformation and panic.
