As an aside, I’d personally prefer the option to use email instead of phone numbers on Signal.

Apparently it’s coming. It’s been on the way for quite some time, but the chatter I see suggests it is actively being worked on.
If you go to the View Safety Number page of a chat, you’ll see that they’re changing the safety numbers. Here’s the explanation they gave.
I’m glad to see progress is being made! I wonder if after usernames are added people will use it to message people on the internet, like discord is used.
I wish I could get rid of this garbage
I feel the same way. Unfortunately friends and family just doesn’t use anything other than Whatsapp. I’ve tried moving some of them to signal but they were back on WhatsApp within a week or two.
I just stop communicating with them. I know, it’s not always possible, but I figure with other adults I can make it painful for them.
I despise SMS, yet people continually chat with me there. When they don’t hear from me I let them know I never got their messages, so the can see first hand how bad a tool it is.
I never got their messages
That might be just it, the perfect excuse to help ppl move (double edged though, can be used against you too). Thanks for sharing this tip!

Then remove it.
well, if nobody in your circle and it is mandatory for your job. you have to suck it up to use this app.
you can use a work email in that regard though.
If my job nadates whatsapp, I’d be asking serious questions about their security attitude.
I’d also be asking for a company phone. Sorry, my personal phone is not for business, and I’m not risking my personal device being subpoena’d because you guys are idiots.
You can do it now, no need to wait!
Yet another reason to avoid WhatsApp
