So it looks like I might have understood something wrong regarding TextSecure.

Installed it, used it, uninstalled it.

Years later, a contact asks me that he "saw me in TextSecure", sent me a message.

Obviously, I didn't get that message.

Why - o why - was/is TextSecure pretending to not know about metadata when it does? Why could that happen? Moxie?

This problem is not specific to TextSecure, it also exist with iMessage and whatsapp as far as I know.

Well, _maybe_ you can. I spent several days six months ago trying to unregister, and finally just accepted the fact that TextSecure will never let me go. Oh well.
