But you need a simcard with this emulator to connect to signal, here I’m talking about getting a text message and then still have a signal account, or even better : only having an account but wirh email or norhing. I think it’s not possible to have signal work the way you describe.
So you can have signal desktop on pc and activate it from there with a phone that only receives SMS ? I have a few people to tell so they can try then because this is a huge step for non-smartphone users. If anyone have a source on this btw I would be happy to read it !
I never said anything to that effect. The ancestor comment discussed running Signal for Android inside an Android emulator for account creation, after which it could be linked to Signal desktop.
Someone could presumably fork Signal desktop to allow the scenario you’re describing, but I’m not aware of any such efforts.

A phone number that can receive SMS is required, but it doesn’t have to be associated with the device that’s running Signal last I checked.

Telegram too requires that you verify your phone number, right? So I took that as a given.
