In this video I discuss how Signal added the option to use usernames to the beta release of their messaging app and how this can improve user privacy in the app.

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

It's nice you can talk to randoms on the internet privately, without needing to give them your phone number.

Discord: NOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE NUMBER DISCRIMATORS ITS TOO CONFUSING Based Signal: You can have as many numbers as you want 😎

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

Their "2 or more numbers at the end" requirement (along with the non-permanent nature) is genius. It destroys people's motivation to create vanity accounts

Anything that helps chip away at Discord's market share is based.

signal instantly jumped from C tier to A tier for privacy

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.

I just wish there was a way to use this as a default messaging app again. But most people won't touch it since it's just another niche service to them

It' a first date. You are not sure they aren't crazy, so you ask to talk via signal. They think you are crazy and leave.

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.

One thing that could help privacy even more is 1-time invitation links to add new friends on Signal. In that way, no username change would be even needed.

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

I will quite literally stop using anything but signal if they managed to stop requiring a phone to work.

Wow, I've been debating about joining Signal, but from what I've seen here, it sounds like I wanna try it πŸ˜‚

Would love it if you did a video on Signal's in-app payment system. Love your channel and haven't seen many other videos on this particular topic from other content creators.

This is an important feature for me. In fact, I use session instead of signal because session already doesn't disclose your phone number (they don't even collect your number).
