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.

            This is a totally different thing, and I also don’t get what the problem of this user is. He wants to share a picture and then just like on android the list of your recent chats opens where of course the pofilepic shows to know where you want to send it to, and he somehow doesn’t want the profile pic to be there even tho this is totally normal behavior from android and iOS since… always? Or do I misunderstand his problem because I don’t use iOS? Well the most important part, it doesn’t sound like my problem at all.

              What that user is describing is very serious. They are saying iOS can reach into Signal and extract data.

                The user is describing iOS’ share sheet, which Signal seems to advertise as a feature. The OS isn’t reaching in and grabbing data, Signal is providing data to the OS.

                Also note that said user signaled this on the Signal-Android repo, which combined with their inability to find this info, when i don’t even own an iOS device, makes me think they aren’t the most observant user out there.

                  No. In the “Steps to reproduce” turning on Signal setting “Show in Suggetions” was not listed nor any setting of this type.
