I was a signal user until 2021, something glitched, probably because I had a weak data signal a few times so I thought signal was glitching so I abandoned it.

Well I need it again now because starting today July 6th Google is monopolizing all my native SMS apps and I don’t like the vibe of that and I do not agree to click agree to every step of the process Google taking over all my SMS activities.

As far as I know the only way to use Signal is if both communicating parties are both on signal, so how can I make this my main SMS app with businesses and everything & everyone who texts my main phone number?

I don’t have a lot of friends and so far I have one friend who agreed to go to signal with me, and I texted him and he didn’t respond so I thought he either ghosted me or it’s not working. How can I make signal work? It’s not working.

    Hi thanks, maybe can you tell me how to do that thing on Signal where the other party doesn’t have our phone number but each person is assigned a code number?

      It’s not a code number, it’s just a user ID. I use Molly so it might be a little different but I think it’s the same. Just click on the profile picture at the top left and look for it there.
