Signal was very slow to putting this out icl but at least it’s an option now, which is better than none at all, though sucks you still got to put your number in it though to use it.
Anything better than Telegram (which is has no E2EE via DMs by default) and WhatsApp (which is owned by Facebook) is good step in my eyes despite Signals flaws, cuz we honestly need less big tech controlling our media consumption in our world today.
