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.

Did you get signal from the official app store or did you follow a random link? There's malicious versions out there or someone cloned your sim card.

Yes, I did get it from the official source. And it only happens on Signal Desktop. Not on the Android version. I edited this into the original post, but the cross post didn't seem to have updated.
