@momo @evacide also, on reflection, how much work is “by everyone using an *official signal app*” doing in this sentence - are there unofficial signal clients (that will be able to choose to display the number)?

@interpipes @evacide I do not work for signal and have no access to the source code of the server implementation. I think these are questions you could ask the people working at signal:

@momo sure. They're also questions I'd direct at any trusted party suggesting that this is safe to rely on because my reading of the totality of what's been provided by signal - now with the benefit of the paragraph you highlighted - is that it *isn't* safe to rely on given the existence of 3rd party signal clients, so I was wondering if @evacide or anyone else who saw this thread perhaps *did* know better or saw something I've missed.

@be @evacide interesting, but if it is not accessible to the client when the sender hides their number I wonder why the recipient's app version matters, then, and why the wording of the post is so very specific about "official apps"
