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 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.
