What is better for privacy? Signal or Telegram? I know XMPP is better then both of them.

    The phone number is used only for registration by Signal. It’s not used as a ID for registration.

      requiring one just for registration would still make it garbage, but, last I checked it was also the only identifier. did they add usernames recently or something? searching for a minute I don’t see anything like that.
