Setting up Signal

  1. Download Signal:
  2. Set Up Signal
      • Signal requires a phone number for verification, but you don’t need to share it with anyone. After downloading:
      • Enter your phone number and confirm it.
      • You’ll receive a six-digit code via SMS. Enter the code to verify your account.
  3. Create Your Profile and PIN
      • Profile Name: Use a first name (real or fake). Don’t include a last name.
      • PIN: Choose a secure PIN to protect your account and confirm it.
  4. Set Up a Username (Recommended for Anonymity)
      • Tap your profile picture in the top left, then go to Settings > then tap your name at the top > Username.
      • Choose a username and save it. Do not use your real name or a screen name you use in other apps. This lets you share your username instead of your phone number.
  5. Share Your Username with Gloria
      • Provide your username to Gloria so we can start a secure chat with you and your host, keeping your personal details private.
