Gregory's ServerA question:
I gave a friend my Signal username. They don't have my real name or number, I don't have them saved, but the phone number popped up after I accepted their message request.
Interestingly, mine did not show up to them. The one difference I suspect may be at fault is the Privacy setting that "no one can see my phone number" in Profile - Privacy - Phone number.
Is this expected behaviour? I can share a censored screenshot privately, if required. Thanks!

Sounds like that is the difference yes. I’m assuming you have yours set at “Nobody” (which is the default) where as your friend has switched theirs to “Everybody” resulting in you getting their number but them not getting yours.
