deleting app does not delete account on any online service. reason why people are still messaging me on whatsapp and i am calling people on Duo and we are all waiting endlessly. some services like Telegram, Whatsapp (I probably didn’t cover it) etc. have a default inactive account cleanup schedule…not sure about Signal.
absolutely agree with that last line. My friends on Wire still remain on Wire as I can’t/won’t give my phone number to add them on Signal. #sorry
