I have an iPhone and would like to forward (send) a Signal message to someone who is NOT on the Signal App.
I also would like to send the Signal message to my own email. How do I go about doing that please?
My understanding is Signal forwards can only be forwarded to those who are also on the Signal App. Is that correct?
