Say Alice makes a Signal group with two other people who she hasn’t spoken with before: B and C. B accepts the connection, and C doesn’t (yet.) 1. Should B see that “C” is in the group? 2. If not, and C later accepts, should C be able to see earlier messages between A/B?
@matthew_d_green 1. There is not yet anything about C to display to B. Alice had to invite instead of add because she had not been approved as a connection by C, so Alice doesn't have C's profile key or profile information. So there's nothing to display to B about C, b/c nobody has it yet.
@matthew_d_green 2. The Signal UX strives to function as it appears. If you send a msg and C isn't yet in the group, C never sees the msg. When C joins, it will first display "C accepted the invitation," and then subsequent msgs will go to them.
@moxie This was the text I read and it wasn’t clear that it was about future messages or past ones.
