Also confirmed two things. If you are on 7.0.0, have a username, and hide your phone number:
1. People on pre-7.0.0 clients cannot see your phone number in your profile
2. People on pre-7.0.0 clients CAN still start a message with you via your new signal.me username link
...so if you are in the beta and/or have 7.0.0 today, you don't have to worry about your contacts being updated 😃
