I actually didn’t realize that Signal leaked my IP address to contacts when I initiated a call.

Ok the option to turn it off is tucked away under Privacy -> Advanced but it warns you that you might experience painful side-effects if you turn it on.

Anytime someone sets a feature as a non-default, I assume 95% of users never touch it. When they put it under the “Privacy” settings menu, I raise my expectation to 99%.

But Privacy -> Settings -> Advanced, wow. That’s like putting it in a disused lavatory in the basement of the town hall, with a sign that says “Beware of Tiger.”

I feel like we should introduce this to our CS students during their first year.
