Why does this Android app require a phone number to sign up?
At least Hangouts lets me use the app without a phone number.

You can register with just an email, using a desktop web browser at
http://app.wire.com
, then use that account to login on mobile. Unclear why it's not possible to register a new email-only account from the mobile app.

We had this, was confusing UX. Considering bringing it back.
