Threema seems to solve a problem signal has that is it does’nt need a phone number to open account . But i haven’t used any of them so can’t say . (If anyone wanna know i use telgram foss which is a debloated fork of the original client)
That’s not really a problem. The biggest problem Signal has is people not caring about privacy enough to use another messaging app.
If Signal dropped the phone number requirement they’d get a handful more users. If people started to care about privacy they’d get millions of new users.
Threema is a paid service, so they are just identifying you with payment information instead of a phone number. I fail to see any more privacy. I guess its a bit more convenient.

You can pay anonymously with cash or btc.
Oh, Nice for desktop users.
On iOS you must share email and phone to pay for it.
Android users.
Doesn’t signal now have username support? I thought i saw it released a week or so ago.
That doesn’t solve the issue that you have to give them a phone number to start an acc.
It still needs a phone number for registration. You just don’t need to share it with people you want to talk with.
You can use Session (getsession.org) without any phone number. It is based somewhat on the Signal code base, and it’s a decent alternative for some.
