Signal-android: Update profile full name megaphone does not use gender neutral icon

Created on 7 Mar 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: signalapp/Signal-Android


Bug description

The addition of full name support comes with a megaphone informing the user they may add a last name to their profile. This megaphone uses to a bearded person regardless of the user's gender. Seeing as we don't collect that information, it might be better to default to a gender neutral person.

Commit introducing the behavior:

Steps to reproduce

  • Open Signal
  • Trigger full name megaphone
  • Observe

@Meteor0id agreed. We can't assume gender with a beard, but we can probably make a good guess that the folks who enjoy Signal don't all have beards. We wouldn't want to repeat history and offend anyone here :wink:
