Signal is a great alternative to WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, but it requires a phone number to sign up. In some countries, phone numbers are tied to your identity by law.
You can hide phone number visibility, and Signal now has usernames. However, even random usernames can link activity to real identities, compromising privacy.
I recently found SimpleX, a chat app that doesn’t use user IDs. Signal is good, but I’ll recommend SimpleX for more anonymity.
