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.
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.
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.
