    I’m torn on it. I love that everything is geared towards privacy, but location sharing seems to go against the grain of the program’s principles.

    I’d make use of it if it was included, but I understand why it doesn’t and Google Maps does a similar thing.

        Oh I totally get why it’s useful, but it seems sharing more than intended goes against the privacy-focussed principle of the app.

        Though I do now see that if done correctly, it could be a bonus.

          The purpose of an app like Signal is specifically to be able to share stuff with people.

          What makes it private is that you are in full control over who can see what you send. You’re arguing that for something to be private it must prevent you from sending what you want to send.
