Finally, to help you determine the fake and malicious from the genuine, we have signposts (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007459591-Signal-Profiles-and-Message-Requests#message_requests) in the application that can aid you in identifying fakers and phishing attempts. We also have tools like Registration Lock to help protect against account takeovers. 6/

@Mer__edith @signalapp Add the ability to control (privacy settings) who can see my Profile Pic and About like Signal Custom stories after accepting a message request or initiating a conversation. It's really frustrating to be not able to have absolute control over with whom I want to share. I want to share my DP and about with the most trusted contacts only and not with everyone & groups by default.
