Signal Usernames Have Arrived!
Signal messenger usernames are finally here, available in beta, and coming soon to the public! Here's what they look like, what you can expect, how to utilize one, what it means for your Signal phone number, how to hide your phone number, your contact privacy, and more! I know I'm hyped, so I'm super excited to get this out 🎉
