    The main advantage of Signal was the SMS integration, which meant you no longer had to use the SMS app itself. In addition, SMS messages were displayed like a chat. That’s why it needed to be linked to your cell phone number, but since they’re no longer allowed to offer that anyway, they could have done a clean sweep of existing accounts and adapted the entire login process.
