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.

Wrong. I'm in two group chats. And they are not in any of them. Signal literally leaked 56 contacts to me. These are people from all over the world. I don't know anyone from Iraq or asia. I only use Signal for Real Life friends from my Country.

Sorry for being so dismissive. I had just experienced this myself the other day, with larger group chats I had been added to.

I am interested to see what you figure out, have also read the cross-post.
