You need a phone number to sign up for Telegram as well.
And you can correlate username to phone number not that hard in most standard setting cases.

Sorry, but that's not privacy. I don't care what they do to encrypt your messages, they are still tied to me, which makes the super duper encryption pointless.
Yes oranges umm phone numbers is a problem. They have that both. Only one can additionally read the contents.
Thats for now the price for a normie interface.
First goalposts first.
But in this thread, GP was just talking about metadata. The goalpost here is metadata. GP particularly mentioned that Signal "fixed" the phone number issue and I just want to note that currently Signal isn't any better than Telegram in this aspect.
And then you moved orange back.
This is incorrect. Telegram has E2EE.
So, not on by default (unlike Signal), no group chats (unlike Signal), no support at all in desktop apps (you've guessed it: unlike Signal).
