"search" for their phone number, and then send them a message.This doesn't work; it only searches content of messages already received.- Go into a group conversation and add a new user. Enter the phone number of the person you want to add, and invite them. (This seems to function independently of the phone's Contacts data.)
- mobile app:
Unverified: It may be that you just add people to the regular Android address book and they will show up in Signal if they also have Signal installed.This does not seem to work.
