Image preview should honor exif orientation
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.

Allow setting to enable message sending through 'Return'
So I understand that in iOS version 3.3.0, there was a change to disable messages from being sent after pressing the 'Return' key.
My team is coming from WhatsApp so the default is to send a message using the 'Return' key.
I would suggest adding a configuration item that would allow users to make this change as it's really based on personal preference.
Would fix: https://github.com/mattermost/ios/issues/39

Show all threads in one place
Option to show all threads in which a user participates in one place. Ask from Startup School.
Note: By default mention notifications for threads aren't turned on, maybe we should default them to on to see to what extent this helps.

hide offline contacts
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.71 votes -
Add inline preview for attached images
Pasting or attaching an image shows it as a thumbnail rather than inline with the message as it is for image urls

Allow for bots to directly upload images
Bots are only able to post text messages to rooms, however, it would be convenient if bots were able to attach photos as a message to the room.
We would prefer if our bot didn't have to upload images to an accessible URL and then post that url to the room (and then only get a preview of an image), as this adds a few extra steps to viewing the image and requires our bot to be aware of when it is done uploading the image to the host and then finally post the link to the room.

Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Currently, we need to go to the channel, then click on the little arrow, then View Info
Personally, I spent 5 minutes to find this kind of information when I was checking that I didn't miss something and it is not yet available somewhere easily

Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use
Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use. Reusable invite links (especially ones that aren't auto-regenerated at any point) leaves too much opportunity for unauthorized signups

possibility to re-link uploaded images
When you upload or drag'n'drop an image to mattermost, that image gains a new name that does not end with an image extension, thus if you try to "copy image location" or use the "copy public link" from mattermost their will give u a link that you can paste back to matter most to re-link the image in a preview mode.
A copy public link will look like:
And copy image location will look like:
https://pre-release.mattermost.com/api/v3/files/zkqjspdektrqjde9xqnp7ef1er/get_preview
As you can see neither end with a image extension and so if I simple paste it back in a message it will…

load to my last message
The idea is to have a link, "load to my last message", right beside "Load more messages", the goal of it is to "load all chat messages up to the last time I talked in that channel", this way rather than seeing messages backwards, I can just click it and read the channel in order from the time I left it. Seems like a rather simple addition.

Protocol handler for deep linking to channel in desktop or mobile app
Use a protocol handler to get to channels within the desktop app with a format like:
"mattermost://channel?id=#{mattermostchannelid}&team=#{course.mattermostteamid}"Something similar could be implemented in the mobile apps too.
Some open questions:
- what happens if someone clicks the deep link but doesn't have the app open or installed?
- should the deep link work for public channels only?7 votes -
I would like to se the more.. moved to top of user list under direct messages or make a search box directly under the DIRECT MESSAGES..
as in subject moving the clickable more.. under the direct messages to be on top of the users in your list or make a search box directly under the headline..
starting to get osme users there now and getting somewhat annoying to scroll down all the time for PM a new user..

Add support for SQL Server
Most enterprises medium or larger have SQL Server licenses and supporting infrastructure (DBA team, servers, backup/recovery scripts, etc.) already established.
Support for SQL Server would be very helpful so we can leverage what we have in-house already.

Team initials
Ability to change team initials / short name.
For example if your teams start with the same prefix, the initials are going to be the same for all of them.
Furthermore you may want to set it manually, or if the name is made of multiple words, use the first letter of each word as initials.
This is also related to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15465123-team-icon
Idea is to be able to differentiate teams easier :)
I also don't know about mobile apps, but in the web version on desktop the initials could potentially include up to 4 characters.

Team specific position
Sometimes we don't have the same position in different team. Maybe it would be interesting to be able to have different position depending on the team, and not one position per account.

EE: Legal notice presentation for system, team and channels
Similar to Custom intro text for systems, teams and channels (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/18595492-custom-intro-text-for-system-team-and-channels) this EE feature would be to enable the presentation of legal notices, formatted in markdown, by clicking an "I agree" button, instead of a "I do not agree" button (which would deny access to the system, team or channel on which the legal agreement is attached.
There needs to be a PRINT button to print the agreement, and a DOWNLOAD button to download a copy as a text file (in markdown, which is readable).
A full text record of the agreement at the time of acceptance should…

Custom intro text for system, team and channels
Custom intro text for a system, team or channel, similar in set up to Custom Tutorial Text with markdown support and preview, that is displayed to a user when joining a specific system, team or channel, and the user needs to hit "Okay" to dismiss. The user should be able to find the message in the system, team or channel settings to review the info.
Requesting this because often organizations want to share more about the purpose of their Mattermost deployment, and include different links, e.g. link to naming conventions to use for channels, an internal user's guide to the…

allow users to 'follow' others to create a filtered feed view.
Currently we have an in-built equality of posts which can become inefficient with high volume.
Recognizing the importance of hubs in scale-free network growth, we could allow for a filtered view of the main town-hall feed, where you just saw the posts (and related threads) of those you choose to follow.
One could also toggle back to the unfiltered view, but allowing people to cluster could make high volume teams more manageable.
Unlike Facebook, the user would remain in control - with no algorithm and the ability to toggle back to the unfiltered view.
