Knowing what a privacy nightmare all meta apps are, I’m wondering if there is an alternative option which is more privacy friendly but still has some of the ease and simplicity of some features such as messenger.
I already know there will be friends I can’t convince and thats fine, I may just have to accept that. But if I could avoid using it as much, I’d really like to.
I just tried installing Signal now and it’s asking for a phone number with no way to skip
Yeah, it does actually require a phone number, though you can use a landline and you can also hide that number for people you chat with.
How does the landline option work? Do they call you to verify?
Yeah, I believe you’ll receive an automated verification call.
