Read Receipts: Implement a visual indication for messages if and when they have been read by other users of the channel
Sometimes one's wondering if a post has already been read by other users. I could image that a member list of the channel pops up when one is selecting the read status from the particular post menu ("[..]").
In private chats, a sinple check sign (similar to whatsapp) could signalize if a message had beend read by your counterpart.1,109 votesWe’ve opened a design ticket to start exploring this feature: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-36529
This will need feasibility explorations given performance concerns on the server-side. As a result, we may start by only offering read receipts in Direct Messages and Group Messages that have a maximum of 8 users.

Move a message to another channel
Sometimes a user posts his message in the wrong channel. Deleting the message and repost is a simple solution. However, sometimes the message already contains replies. Is it possible (to make) to move a message including its replies to another channel?

Coke | x | |

...OR
Option | Votes
Coke | 3/15 Users
Sprite | 2/15 Users

EE: Single-Channel Guests for non-team members
For IT policy compliance, offer the ability to invite non-team members users to Mattermost as "single-channel guests" to have access to read and write to one channel and direct message any other users in that channel.
Potential scenarios include opening discussions with non-team members, including customers, vendors, partners and interview candidates.

mute individual users
As a user, I would like to be able to ignore the postings from other users. I would like to individually select which users I want to ignore. It should be easy to add/remove users from my ignore list.

End-to-end (e2e) encryption support
This would require major architectural changes for the Mattermost server, but adding some use cases to gather feedback from the community.
Server admins wouldn't be able to read the content of conversations because they don't hold the keys to decrypt, which means users wouldn't have to worry about
- Server admins spying on their private conversations
- Governments subpoening server admins into handing over conversations
- Hackers taking control of the server being able to read the conversations334 votes -
IOS/Android local notifications
Use local notifications when the app is running or in background. I know that encrypted push notifications are supported when using the enterprise version, but it would be very handy if the app would support local notifications when running in background or foreground for new messages.
This creates the ability to use the app without sending data around the world.314 votes -

Implement Automatic Right-To-Left (RTL)
Most popular text editors change the text direction automatically to RTL (Rgiht to Left) when you enter a text in RTL languages such as Persian, Arabic or Hebrew. If that was the case in the Mattermost, we (the RTL language speaking people!) could use Mattermost much more productively, and localization to Farsi, Arabic, etc was possible.

Add a configurable setting to show count of unread messages, mentions or channels on taskbar
Original discussion can be found here: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/111
Add a configurable setting to show count of unread messages, mentions or channels on taskbar.
When a message is received, there is small red badge with number of total unread mentions (in the client taskbar icon and the browser tab).
Proposal is to let the user choose what to count on this badge - any messages, mention and direct messages only or even number of channels with unread messages

Voice Messages Record and Play
The same way we can send messages, we should be able to send voice messages.
It should be as simple as click "add voice", record what you want, press send and it's made available on the server for others to listen.
It should be supported by browser and mobile client apps.

Create an ARM build pathway
Right now there's no approved way to do mattermost on ARM. I think ti'd be a great idea to fix that, and I'm working on fixing it myself. If I get a definitive result, I will post it in the regular forums and/or submit a pull request.

voice channels (like discord or mumble)
Would be fantastic for my team to be able to have a static voice channel to join instead of creating a conference every time.
