Are you looking for a way to communicate securely on Signal while keeping your phone number private? Signal, known for its strong encryption and privacy features, has introduced the ability to create a username, allowing you to connect with others without sharing your phone number.

In this video I'll walk you through the process of hiding your phone number in Signal by creating a username. This feature is great for those who prioritize privacy and wish to keep their personal information secure.

Step 1. Tap your profile icon at the top of your Signal home screen to open a menu, and then tap "Settings" in that menu. Your Signal settings screen opens.

Step 2. Tap your name at the top of this screen. The Profile screen is displayed.

Step 3. Tap "Username." If you see a New Ways to Connect screen tap "Set Up Your Username" on this screen. You'll land on the Username screen.

Step 4. Enter the username you want to be associated with your Signal account. As you start typing you'll see two sections, one section where you can enter your username and another where you can enter a set of numbers. This combination of the username and numbers that you enter will comprise your full username.

Step 5. Tap "Done" after entering in your username. You'll be routed back to the Profile screen, where you'll see your username field is populated with your new Signal username.
