Some people aren't using Signal because of the metadata but if you're a targeted individual, you shouldn't use a phone for anything very sensitive anyway (you could have been pegasus'ed without ever knowing it).

Is there a page that documents what metadata is made available? From my understanding, it is very little, and designed with the intention that the servers could become decentralized. I doubt their company would make that move anytime soon, however.

you can check the court orders that signal publishes.

iirc: timestamps, ip addresses, destination user phone number (not from sender afaik, that's encrypted)

So presumably with a unique IP, it would be possible to determine sender and receiver (however not likely in mass). If used with a VPN or Tor, it's much more difficult.
