The phone number deregister flow is such a dark pattern it's incredible. Not something a chat app should ever do to be reputable.

If you uninstall the app it has a seven day forced delay for releasing your phone number, it isn't disclosed anywhere and the form just silently errors out when seven days haven't passed.
