My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.
Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat
She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone
Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?
Thanks
Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels
We’ll see in a few weeks time; hence my recommendation to wait a little ;)
It has been in beta for a while now and it still does require a SIM for registration.
It’s coming in a few weeks? Source?!
I’ve been waiting for Signal usernames for a long time

“Update UI for PNP launch megaphone.” is pretty unmistakable ;)
We don’t know how long it’ll be exactly but “a few weeks” is a good assumption here.
