Fast warning
The account public key DOESN'T CHANGE when you pick or change username. If you don't reset it, anyone can check against phone number public keys and dox your phone number
If you want to be fully private on this, unlink all account sessions and reset the account public key by registering via the phone number again

Signal calls leak every user's IP address by default. Now that Signal has usernames, people will share their usernames to others more openly. Someone may call randomly via the username and get the receiver's IP address instantly. From IP address, the user's ISP, their area locations, where they visit periodically with timed calls, etc. can be known to random callers. You can relay the call via Signal servers to avoid IP leak. Check Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Always Relay Calls. This also has drawbacks. The most secure private routing is not implemented by Signal yet.

An important warning: since this is in beta, even if you use the beta, other people outside of it will still see your phone number regardless of your choice. Moreover, signal has a 90-day period in which they maintain compatibility with older versions as of their policy. So even when the update rolls over, people who haven't updated (maybe maliciously) within this 90-day period, will still see your phone number. You should also change your public key.

Glad they're taking steps towards detaching phones from the service, what stops me from using Signal is the fact it requires a phone with the app installed, which I lack. I ended up settling for Telegram which requires a phone number, but not the app being installed, just the ability to receive SMS

fact that signal is really close to the cia headquarters is what scares me.
