When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place.
Edit: This only happens on Signal Desktop. If I try to forward a message on Android it only shows my Contacts. And none of these unkown ones.
So Signal does not protect against those that fill their contacts with every existing number?
But also, this does not explain why is it only happening in the desktop app for OP
Protect against what? People knowing you have Signal? Excuse me if it’s obvious to everyone else, but I’m struggling to understand the issue here.
It confirms that your number is valid and in use.
I mean, ever heard of a phonebook?
Yes. Where I live, having ones number listed in public directories is optional. So I’m not listed.
Yes. That’s my main issue. Maybe you don’t need to understand the reasons why I think it’s an issue to understand it’s an issue to me?
I don’t need to understand that it’s an issue for you, but I want to understand why it’s an issue for you.
