  LOL you think messaging friends, family and clients is “the wrong purpose”? According to whom?

        You’re using a messaging app that was built with the express intent of being private and encrypted. You’re asking why you can’t have a right to privacy when you use your real name as your display handle in order to hide your phone number.

        Yes, it does hide your phone number, by using your screen name as your identity.

        If you then use personal details as your screen name, you can’t get mad at the app for not hiding your personal details. That’s not how this app works. That was never how this app worked.

        Chatting with your friends and clients isn’t what this app is for. This isn’t facebook. There are other apps for that. This isn’t that.
