When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place.
Edit: This only happens on Signal Desktop. If I try to forward a message on Android it only shows my Contacts. And none of these unkown ones.

But that is not official signal app…
Tell me any other more offical way to optain Signal on fedora. Signal only provides .deb files. Flathub is my only option.
You may try this:
toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/debian-toolbox:12toolbox enter debian-toolbox-12Than follow Signal instructions. You will have it installed, launch with
signal-desktop. So you enter debian toolbox and launch Signal from it, that is Fedora atomic way.I am not telling, that is 100% better, than Flathub version, but you may try just to see if problem is still there or not. Flathub version is also built from their debian file, it should be ok, but it also may contain some issues. If I would using Signal myself I would probably use Flathub, but if I had such issues I would definitly consider trying toolbox way.
Flathub. Opensuse has a repo but just use Flathub, Dependencies are a mess.
Oh you mean literally the source I said in the comment above.
Yup either official and through an Ubuntu/Debian container, or mess up your local system with the Opensuse Repo, or just use the Flatpak that just works
Yea so what I already do…
