I'm wondering about the consequences of deleting a Signal account. Will the account be permanently removed? Will my messages and contacts be deleted as well? What exactly happens when you delete a Signal account?

If Signal is not active on your phone, meaning it's not installed or operational, you won't be able to make any changes to your account, including deleting it.

This ensures that only authorized users, those with access to the registered device, can manage their Signal account, adding an extra layer of security.

To permanently prevent your phone number from being associated with Signal, you have the option of deleting your account from the registered mobile device.

Performing this action necessitates that Signal is operational on your phone, as it allows you to access and modify the account settings required for deletion.
