Nope! This is just a new (and optional) feature that we added. You can read more here:https://signal.org/blog/signal-profiles-beta/ …

I don't see why adding my face and full name to my phone number for every sms i exchange. Good that the feature is optional.

the feature allow you to add an identity. No one ask for your real name and pic

You mean asking about identity is not about asking about your real name and real pic?

Yes, but i would assume many people will use their real name and pic. Some people not. Why going there with SMS?
