draft - For hinge to market itself as the app designed to be deleted, I think they should push the idea of sharing your telegram username and/or maybe Microsoft teams, Google chat, etc...

If people aren't ready to share phone numbers, these platforms are a good partial way to have a general purpose method of communicating outside of hinge, without having to share a real phone number, and they have good abilities to edit messages for users who value ownership of their own digital footprint
