However, please allow us the option (after registering/activating on Signal Android) to completely move to the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SignalDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SignalDesktop</span></a> and deactivate/deregister the mobile version altogether. You can even make this dependent on the mobile user granting permission.</p><p>Thank you for the great work you all are doing for <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and secure communication. Although we do not like the phone number requirement, we still consider Signal one of the best communication apps and have on-boarded countless numbers of users.</p><p>(2/2)</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FLOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FLOSS</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dataprivacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/messagingapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>messagingapps</span></a></p>
