How to find someone on Signal with phone number?
So, you have one number and you are trying to find out who you are talking to on Signal. You are talking about something serious, maybe business. You do not want to tell this person the number. Instead, you would like to find that person on Signal and you want to keep the conversation private.
If you do not want to give the number to the person you are talking to, you can use Signal in order to find a person on Signal with a phone number. But, it may be a little bit tricky because you will need to use an app for Signal. Moreover, you have to set it up yourself before starting to communicate with your potential partner.
What is Signal? Signal is an app, which is used to protect your conversations and to give you the option to block someone. How does it work? The app provides you with all the details about your communication with another person. It has a function to block people from your list. The app also works with other apps that are called the same. All of them are available in the app store of your mobile device. With a few clicks, you can block someone from your list.
This way, you are not able to be in contact with someone, who is on Signal. You can see the last contact with that person. When the contact is blocked, the messages are also kept for a certain period of time.
Why you should use Signal. You can always decide whether or not you want to be in contact with a person. When you use Signal, you can be sure that your conversations are safe.
If you know someone's phone number, you can get that person on Signal. Otherwise, you can use a random number that you can't remember to find that person on Signal.
So, here are all the steps that you need to follow in order to use Signal. Install the app. In order to use Signal, you first need to download it from the Google Play Store. You can do it using any mobile device.
When you have installed it, you will be asked to sign in with your Google account. Add a number. Add the number that you want to use with Signal to your contacts.

Does Signal use your phone number?
I've been looking at various Signal implementations, like using a phone number (SIP) vs. The google signin/sign-up flow. However it would be great if a web app would use my google account to store the user context and allow me to access this web app with a google login in any browser, whether they are on Android, iOS or a desktop browser. But this seems to be a no go. Is there any way to access android app's phone # with a signal connection? For example - I can have a signal connection to say google but if I send a message over Signal to a friend - how do I allow them to get my google id on my phone using Signal? Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, you can use a SIP phone number to connect to the Signal mobile app. We'd love it if phone numbers were your primary ID across all apps. If you have two Google accounts, and your Google App settings were configured to use one, you could use that to log into Signal, even if your phone didn't already use the correct account. You can set the default Account ID in the Settings app (or more likely, through a 3rd party service). To find this, press the home button, tap on the profile icon (next to the Google logo) and then choose "Change Account", and follow the directions on screen.
If Signal's app doesn't use this method for you, then you're going to need to do some legwork to add your phone number as a second option in the Google App settings. Can I create a new number and use for one login, then change later on? Does the number need to be assigned to a country before I can change that? Or is there a different solution that might be more useful? The phone number can only be used to login to one Signal app at a time. To switch between apps, try the "Sign Out & Sign In" feature (top right of screen) as noted in the first answer. If you have the Signal web app and the mobile app installed and set to automatically sync with each other, there's really no need to ever bother logging out and back in again.
