@SuicideSchaf @signalapp
A bit weird - I had to update twice to find the new option of the username in the profile

@SuicideSchaf @signalapp
My version is 7.0 from the AppStore.
Looking at the update history it states that I downloaded version 6.61.2 on the 29th.
Maybe try again

@signalapp Thank you, Signal. Personally, I'm not chatting with anyone I don't trust with my phone number. I'm also from a generation where we had phone books; my number is public anyway. But I can see how this new username feature appeals to younger generations, and I'd love to communicate with my teenagers at some point - so, well done! 😊

@signalapp is it available only for desktop? Can't find any update for Android (PStore).

@signalapp Been waiting for this to roll out, it's the one thing that's been holding me back from using signal a lot more.

@signalapp but we still need to provide the number phone in order to open a new account

The best way to keep a phone number private is to not be forced to use it in the first place.
