    There is no option to set a different handle and avatar for different groups of people tho, and I don’t remember if the username shows if you get discovered by number. Also, this was just an example - usually you’d have more than two groups you’d want to isolate.

      Can you elaborate what would you want to achieve? Are you trying to hide your identity from your interlocutors (e.g., gambling buddies), so that they wouldn’t know you are John Doe?

          Sorry, one person above made the example of the “gaming” buddies, I assumed it was gambling and it was a good use case for an example.

          I see anyway, it indeed seems this is not a use-case for signal.

      Gotcha, so you can have two “identities” at a time. I guess this is for spam prevention.

      Afaik the username does not show if you are added by number
