Yes but you are still not Open Source and de centralized. Or usable without Phone Number.
I need to have this for full offline apocalypse, zombie and Doomsday Mode, to trust you my dairy.
P.s. I still love what you done so far. However, every chat got unencrypted and exploited by Apps and advertised on Apple and Google devices with its A.I. ... privacy bank rubbery.
@ibrahim_cris I don’t know about all of these things, but Signal’s source code is open source and freely available on GitHub. This includes its Android, iOS and desktop apps, as well as its server code and underlying encryption library:
https://github.com/signalapp
It also has regular security audits from third parties:
https://community.signalusers.org/t/overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243
The last one was done on February 18 and found no vulnerabilities in Signal’s encryption:

I hope this information is useful!

I'm not sure where the whole "signal server isn't open source" came from, but it's not accurate. If you're so inclined you can roll your own signal infrastructure, though getting an app past Apple and Google's gate keeping would be an issue.
If you're threat model is so extreme, give Veilid or Reticulum a look.
