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.

    You can check that in the phone app too.

    The fact that the same issue is present on all platforms doesn’t make it any better for those who oppose the method.

      It’s a necessary feature if you are using phone numbers. Signal has to tell you if your message has any chance of being received.

      I don’t want to message someones number, to find out they never got my message and don’t have signal a few days later, and I don’t want to message them via whatsapp too, giving them a chance to use that when they have signal.
