I also made a signal group to use instead of the email if anyone besides me and Stephanie CK likes to use signal better.
Signal hides all you real contact info better,But it does require an app or your phone, or computer, or I use it on both.

Here are some differences AI points out:Signal is superior to email for privacy-focuse d, real-time, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) communication,  while email is standard for formal, long-form, and business correspondence. 
Signal secures messages, calls, and files from interception, whereas standard email, even when encrypted, often exposes metadata and relies on provider security. Reddit +4Signal App (Best for Privacy & Speed)   
   - Security: Strong E2EE by default for all messages, voice, and video calls.
   - Data Privacy: Minimal metadata is stored; servers cannot access content. Signal stores media files in the device's internal storage or SD card, depending on settings.
   - Features: Disappearing messages, file sharing, screen lock, and username support to hide phone numbers.
   - Usage: Best for sensitive, instant, or personal, day-to-day communication. Google Play +5
Email (Best for Formal & Official Communication)   
   - Security: Standard email is generally insecure (not E2EE) unless using specialized services like Proton,, which is often considered more secure for storage, Proton Mail.
   - Metadata: Subject lines and sender/recipient data are often exposed, notes this Reddit user.
   - Usage: Standard for professional, long-form, and non-urgent communication. Reddit +4
Key Differences   
   - Encryption: Signal uses E2EE for everything. Most email services do not use E2EE by default.
   - Platform: Signal is primarily mobile-first (requires phone number, though username possible). Email is platform-independent.
   - Storage: Signal does not store messages on their servers. Emails are typically stored on servers indefinitely, unless deleted, notes the AVG website. Business Insider +4
Verdict: For maximum, instantaneous privacy, Signal is recommended, while email remains the standard for formal or business communication.
