Yes, you can use Signal without sharing your personal phone number. Here’s how I did it.

    Got a source for that? There have already been multiple contradicting sources posted saying this isn’t true.

      I cant find any information that discusses the security risk. But it would seem that this transfering all content to the owner of the phone number is a standard feature.
      So, maybe its not discussed because it doesn’t frequently happen.
      It doesnt seem like a trustworthy way to ensure users content remains secure.
