@whispersystems is there a way to turn off auto-telling users that I now have a Signal account?
Those notifications aren't transmitted by the server, they're locally generated in the user's app that has you in their contacts.

so if I've blocked someone from calling me, but they still have me in their contacts they can see I have an account?
-
Yes, anyone with your number. Signal for Android also supports blocking, and we're working on the same for iOS.
-
is there a way to block people during set up, before they could get notifications?
-
Block only stops displaying msgs/calls from someone. Blocked nums can still see you on Signal and send msgs/calls into the void.
-
I guess I'm looking for the ability to create block lists before / during contact addition in set up.
