Really nice to be able to give a call link to another signal user without having to exchange phone numbers or even username. Quite empowering!

One of the features I'd love to see on Signal mobile is screen sharing. Other than that I'm quite satisfied with signal calls all together.

Warning! Unless you setup "always relay call" for voip in signal these calls with strangers WILL disclose your IP address.

In most scenarios, for people on your contact list, that's not a big deal. But since call links can be shared with strangers, you're basically doxing yourself
