It’s based on Signal protocol and it’s also open source. However, unlike Signal it doesn’t harvest phone numbers.

    Ok, in like 2 seconds of looking into Wire I see that the app is rated 2.8 stars to Signal’s 4.5 and under the “data collected” section it lists name, email, phone number, user ID, photos, and videos. Signal lists phone number.

      All you need to create an account is a username and password, so not sure where your name, email, and phone number will come from.

        Looks like it is listed on the iOS App Store ‘App Privacy’ section for the Wire app.
