Label yourself

We all take on different roles in relation to our friends, neighbors, family members, and colleagues. Keep those different roles clear in your many Signal group chats by using group member labels, now available in the latest versions of Signal for Android, Desktop, and iOS.

The one feature I miss from Facebook messenger was that anyone can set the name for anyone else in a given chat

Was an extremely stupid feature but a lot of fun. Would it be possible to add a setting for "who can set labels for a given user" in chats in addition to the existing "who can have a member label" one? (Self/admins/anyone)

@gbargoud you can assign nick names in chats. This option is there.
