Miniature (icon) Mugshot in leftmost Direct Messages pane, shown before name
In the “Direct Messages” leftmost pane show a miniature mugshot, in addition to the persons name shown. The same mugshot /image as shown in message conversation list view.
Sometimes the name is not know or remembered, but the face is not easily forgotten (unless your blind) and might be recognized, when initiating a conversation.
My list contain about 100 developers, many with similarly sounding names and it would ease when trying to find the right developer.
When having many contacts often the names becomes very similar i.e John A Smith, John B Smith, John C Smith.
Which of those is…

Enable the Mattermost mobile app for Intune app protection policies
Microsoft provides an SDK to enable app protection policies to be applied via Intune. Adding this functionality would be a huge benefit for clients that leverage Intune as their MDM and have data protection requirements that prevent data transfer between managed and non-managed apps.
More information available here:

Add a feature to create custom command alias within Mattermost client
We would like a feature to allow leveraging slash command integrations so that users could create custom aliases locally. For instance, one of our integration commands is '/zoom' with additional arguments of 'join' and '<meeting ID>'. We would like to be able to create a custom alias so that a user could always include the arguments along with the slash command without entering 'join' and their 'meeting ID' each time they use the integration.

Implement custom team shortnames
Currently the team list shows the first two letters of the team name, if no custom icon is provided. It would be great if these two letters could be configured, so that they can be different from the first two letters of the team name.

Allow a channel to broadcast messages to several teams
I would like to enable our Product Owner to broadcast information to several teams at once without inviting her to every team (which makes not that much sense because she isn’t a team member but the PO).

Include Racially Diverse Emojis
Currently, all of the default emojis (people, hands, etc) on the desktop app have a light yellow skin tone. Since you are already using apple emojis, it would be awesome to integrate the ability to change the skin and hair tone of these emojis.

Improve the inline display of attached photos on mobile
The current image display on iPhone with the file properties listed to the side of the image doesn't allow the user to really see what the image is. Instead, the user must click the image every time. The current format gives more emphasis to the image properties than it does the image. When typically the user really only cares about seeing the image.
It would dramatically improve usability if it functioned similar to the web app/browser. Display a fullwidth image with the file name on a separate row above it.

Directory of public channels/channels I can have access to
A user should be able to easily see & search the list of all channels they have joined and can join. I'm seeing a number of duplicate channels created across teams because the user did not know it existed in another location.

Allow selecting and deleting multiple messages at once
Allow Channel Admins to be able to enter "select" or "edit" mode where checkboxes appear next to the messages.
Admins would be able to select messages one by one or to select a range of messages by clicking the first one, holding Shift button and selecting the last one (like we've used from other software).After selecting multiple messages, Admins would be able to delete them at once, or perform any other action that might be implemented during the development (move, archive, flag, something else).
This feature would make it a lot easier to delete whole bunches of off-topic messages…

Desktop app: Don't require 'http://' or 'https://' when entering server name on desktop
When users are on-boarding, every one of them has issues with the server URL, because they don't expect to have to enter http:// or https://

Desktop app: Help menu should be accessible by keyboard under Windows
On the Windows client, the "Help" menu is not accessible by keyboard. This is because both the "History" and the "Help" menu have the same accelerator letter "H" assigned, so Alt+H opens the "History" menu (presumably because it comes first). Furthermore, the menu bar doesn't follow the normal Windows UI convention that you can toggle keyboard focus from/to the menu bar by presing just the Alt key, and that you can navigate between menus using the left/right arrow keys when keyboard focus is on the menu or menu bar, thereby preventing the other way the "Help" menu could be accessed…

Desktop: Auto-hide menubar on Linux
Most Electron apps on Linux have an option to autohide the menubar, typically in the View or Window menus. Mattermost would fit in better if it did, too.

Desktop app: Ability to find a permalink
There is no way to navigate to a permalink (the way I can in a browser address bar). This makes collaborating with inbound traffic (e.g. a reference in an email) very hard, I end up switching to a browser. (I realize this might be borderline feature request, but the lack of handling is specific to this client, or my ignorance of how to use it.)
- Get permalink from existing post
- Switch to different channel, same team
- Paste full link (or just token ID) into search
- Nothing found

Have OS X client integrate with native system text services
In all other OS X apps, including Chrome, a variety of standard system services will be available to use with the selected text. For example, looking up the selected word in the dictionary or searching for it on the web. Users can also install custom text services systemwide.

Desktop app: Minimize to tray when clicking on the icon
Currently, we have to close the windows in order to minimize to tray.
But a lot of similar apps, like Riot, allow minimizing to tray by clicking on the tray icon, which is much more convenient.
Please consider adding this.

Set default zoom in preferences
I need to run Mattermost desktop client at about 4 control-+ levels of zoom. Can you please implement a default level of zoom in preferences for text? I doubt there's a way to isolate images vs text zoom, but at least being able to set a default overall zoom would help. It might also be helpful to have an option to control "compactness" of content in that at this zoom level it would help to have text a bit more compact (ie, less vertical line height).

Desktop app: "Copy image" on images shown in channels
Provide a "copy image" option that copies an image shown in a channel. In comparison, in the web app the "Copy image" is also available, as it is part of the standard Chrome menu for images.

Desktop: Custom title bar
Slack enables this feature when more than one workspace is logged in. It would be nice if Mattermost has this by default. This would make the app more unique between others. The default title bar does not fit into the design.

Add a button to scroll all the way to first new message
When rejoining a conversation after many new messages have been posted, if you want to catch up on what you missed, you have to scroll up to the top, click the 'load more messages' button, scroll up to the top, click 'load more messages, ad nauseum, till eventually you reach a point where the "New Messages" line is no longer at the top, then scroll back down till you find the "New Messages" line again.
I think it would be very useful if there was a button (I would name it "load new messages") that appeared along with the 'load…
