    They do a lot of work to keep your phone number private, or at least any data that is tied to it. This username upgrade is solely for someone to communicate over Signal without needing to hand over your phone number.

    For example, you can now be in group chats with internet strangers by just giving them your username.

    On top of that, once MLS is adopted, you can communicate with other messengers as well.
