Signal does not collect metadata.
Ok, in like 2 seconds of looking into Wire I see that the app is rated 2.8 stars to Signal’s 4.5 and under the “data collected” section it lists name, email, phone number, user ID, photos, and videos. Signal lists phone number.

Or even an electric leaf blower. They’re like half the noise.
To be clear, this is a feature, not a bug
