Signal's message requests is a major selling point for me.
I recently created a Signal account after having a bad experience in which someone used my phone number to harass me with SMS/calls (every time, from a different VOIP number). It's frustrating that, even in this era, there is no good way to filter out malicious actors from SMS/call.

P.S. You can sign up with Signal via a VOIP number to avoid sharing your real phone number. See: https://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/signal-tutorial-second-p...
