    Have you seriously never though about how cool it would be to see where your friends are, live on a map?

    Its a realy useful feature when you want to meet up with someone and (at least) on person doesn’t know the area, or just organizing multiple people.

    Having that posibility available is a good thing. But signal decided that having that capability in an app means it could be misused so they actively decided against implementing it.

      Emphatically no, and it’s terrifying that concept has apparently been normalized to the point it’s a desirable feature.
