How will they be able to link your phone number to your username? They can't do anything with your number unless you choose to.

>How will they be able to link...
By "link" I mean they immediately know what person the username belongs to iff they already had that person's phone number because the chat that is initialized after they scan the QR code is just the old chat being continued.
But if they have my number, why would I be worried that they know my username? The username is there so I can avoid sharing my number, not the other way around.
>not the other way around
Exactly. I think that's important to know before people start giving out their Signal handles left and right because they think they're anonymous now.
