 Didn’t know you could manually enter a number! It didn’t seem to work on iOS when I tried. Maybe I’ll try on Android.

I’d still prefer not needing phone numbers (attack vector) or vanity usernames at all, but rather have a globally unique random identifier. I like how Session does it. But I understand the tradeoff for needing a pleb-friendly identifier paired with a recovery mechanism. 
 very cool. it worked great for me on molly just tapping the numbers section and entering what i wanted. and yes, i agree. still a big win imo. love that you can change the username unlimited times too. good stuff. 
 Never mind. User error. It works on iOS.
