But your phone number is, and thus every agency can get your full name and address and location.
Yes but only yours. That’s still better and only having to knock on one door to get everything.
If I’m the target, then this is enough.
You are not the only person using Signal.
and then every phone number on your phone by arresting you and searching your phone.
This sounds like it’s a problem no matter what method of communication you use, unless you keep no address book and memorize everything.
