Signal is working on a way to sign up without a phone number. The feature has not yet been officially confirmed, and it is not yet known whether it will be available to all users or in what form.

    simplex doesn’t require phone numbers or emails to sign up.

    instead you need to scan codes for a trust. it’s actually everything I wanted in a messenger. well…I wish they had gifs like telegram.

        nonexistent.

        unless someone literally invites you to the chat you’re not getting in.

        unless you literally allow someone to scan your code, you will not be able to send them messages.
