The second generation mobile apps currently are not designed to support tablets.

(See https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/issues/670)

If you would like to see tablet / iPad support, please help upvote this feature idea so we can track the demand for it.

A toggle option so that threads appear as "N comments" and open in the side-panel, so they do not interrupt the main flow of the channel, and you can follow each thread mode easily.

We have several teams at work and each channel in the team has a specific purpose. It would be ideal if we could set a time at which a recurring message of the day would be posted. We would include links to resources for the team as well as recent news for people who have been out of the office and are returning.

It would be like an extension to the header and purpose sections. Ideally tagging people would work such that some of the messages can act as daily reminders to everyone of the schedule.

emojis not expressive enough? with sticker packs from telegram, it would definitely spice up your chat in your team!

It would be cool to have a share extension in iOS so that one can share a link directly to Mattermost like the hipchat app does it.

The RTM API allows integrations to connect to slack from behind a firewall, seemingly connecting much like a normal desktop client might, from any computer, not just an externally visible server.

It's a very important enterprise feature for those wanting to integrate Mattermost with their internal applications.

Further discussion on this can be found here:

And this slack FAQ describes the differences between the Events and RTM API's:

This is the Slack RTM API spec:

Securing your chat server should not depend on the size of your wallet. I think there are enough other reasons for enterprises to pay for Mattermost (support plans, branding, LDAP). Allowing additional security to private persons, open source- and small teams would be awesome.

Make an emoji list panel (which shows all available emojis) accessible via button near the text message input field. The emoji list in help system isn't accessible very well.

Being able to view videos uploaded with an iOS device (.mov)

Right now the scope of the search feature is limited to the current team. It would be great to have option allowing to specify the scope: channel, team, global (for example)

Notifications are challenging, and a common source of friction seems to be "hey, you triggered a notification I didn't want by saying @all".

Slack handles this nicely: they intercept the message before send, and advise the user of the outcome.

> By using @all, you are about to notify 123 people in 12 timezones. Are you sure? [edit message] [send now]

How about adding touchbar integration for the latest Macbook Pros? This is one thing that HipChat had that was quite useful - could be used for emoji search, setting away/dnd status, etc.

Thoughts?

Mattermost fetches images from a URL to that image, however it ignores the exif data. This results in the preview often being in the wrong orientation.

Currently, we have users that work in close proximity to one another, and sometimes take on each other's identities, it would be nice if we had a way for a user to delete their direct message history. Reopening a direct message with a user should start fresh. If the logs remained unchanged that would be great too.

It would be nice to have an option, that enables the user to hide contacts that are currently offline.
This would mainly apply to the "direct messages".
It is really annoying to search through a long list (~50) of contacts you often need to chat with, when about 50% are currently offline and are therefore of no interest at the moment.

Right now you can only navigate through images posted at the same time, whereas slack will let you navigate through the entire history of images
