Signal commit Username Integration Test

I really hope this eventually leads to a situation where an adversary cant forcibly de-link you from your signal account by taking control of your phone number or intercepting an sms.

What are we looking at here?

I love Signal, but somehow they seem to have stopped developing the product. The last useful feature was being able to change number. But other than that, things like MobileCoin or Stories show that there is no product vision.<p>There are many useful non-social network features that they can implement and test that would greatly improve its usefulness as secure p2p communication platform.

Signal is finally copying what Telegram has implemented since long ago? Do people in the West simply do not care about hiding their number (judging by WhatsApp and Signal)?

You can’t have a social network without usernames!
