I don't see this option?

I don't see to have this option. Curious...
Note that IPhone sometimes doesnt allow updates from its vendors to be in time. Delaying them for months. Proton did a blog on this topic and I assume you use IPhone.
I don't see it either, Android 6.43.1

I have both iPhone and Android, I don't see it on either? I got my versions directly from each app Store not sure if that counts
I'm using a fork of Signal, but don't think it's limited to the fork. But you could always check.
