A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Im not holding my breath. Its been years since i heard it could "soon" get usernames.
~~If you want to join the Beta you can at least have the option of creating a username~~ ⬅ INCORRECT
Which beta? I'm on Signal beta on Android and it isn't there yet. The screenshot does look like an iphone
Ah, I was mistaken. I am not on any beta so I assumed that's how the user had access.
yeah, they were supposed to ship around the end of 2021 at first. I was hoping that once usernames and phone number privacy landed, I could encourage some internet friends to move from Snapchat and its garbage experience, but in the end I just ended up not using Snapchat and falling apart with them over time.
