Private channels and messages to be sorted by the date of last received message
I think it would be preferable for the list of private channels and messages to be sorted by the date of last received message.
Currently this list is sorted alphabetically and it's impossible to find last messages if you receive a lot of it.8 votes -
ui customization
I think it's necessary to have at least option like font size which can be changed by user, especially for phones whose screen is small.
Further more, if we can choose to hide the time stamp, the user name (in private chat), we would be able to focus on the messages themselves.

Filter Unread Channels across All Teams rather than a Single Team
I’d like to see if there’s a feature allowing users to filter unread channels across all teams/channels of which a user is a member. With the current version (5.32.1), we are able to filter unread channels within a single team, which requires us to have to manually click on each team and filter the unread channels within that team. In my case, I am a member of 12 teams (each representing different departments) so having to navigate to each team to filter unreads feels rather cumbersome.
Is this a feature that already exists that I may have missed or has…

Display all unsent draft messages in one place
Every once in a while, I stumble upon an old draft I started typing, never finished or sent, in various locations (public / private channels, direct messages, threads...). It's nice that the icon next to the location is sometimes showing clearly that I have a draft there, but with many channels/DMs/threads I still risk losing a draft.

mmctl command to clean-up orphaned files
As it is now, we will probably have to write a custom lambda funtion that scans the entire S3 bucket, tries to match the files with the associated channels, and removes them if not found. Not even sure if this is possible, there are alot of id's in the pathname of the files, so my guess is one of them is the channel id, however, this we still need to confirm.

Allow response from outgoing webhooks
In slack an outgoing webhook can reply with:
Hi, I have a (working) slack webhook that responds with like:{ "text": "Thanks! Build was queued" }
These responses are ignored by mattermost currently. It would be great if they worked too.

Sync between redundant servers
In 2015, GitHub user titanous proposed adding support for more than one instance of the API server. (https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/402) It was suggested that it would be added before the 1.0 release, but the issue has since been closed without any changes. Since I didn't see this feature requested in this forum, I thought I would post it so that the community can vote on it.
I work with a team of five, all of whom have personal servers, one of which hosts our Mattermost instance. It would be useful for us if we could host as many as five…7 votes -
Microsoft Active Directory SSO with reverse proxy REMOTE_USER
For advanced enterprises with sophisticated authentication requirements, this feature would allow authentication through REMOTE_USER information passed in via HTTP headers
This feature requires a fundamental change to the Mattermost user model so that users can exist outside of teams.
Several threads have discussed this feature:

CTRL+F on Windows Desktop app puts cursor in Mattermost search box filtered to channel
In the browser CTRL+F brings up text search for the page, so propose in the Windows Desktop app CTRL+F brings up Mattermost search pre-filtered to the channel to have a similar effect.
Other than the ability to search a page, the browser and desktop app have almost the same functionality.
Adding this would make the experiences more equivalent, rather than having desktop just slightly degraded.

Extract GIF from Giphy links
When posting a link to a Giphy page (e.g. http://giphy.com/gifs/power-rangers-morphin-OOZLyBA9Euq2I), it would be nice if Mattermost could automatically display the GIF below the post.
(It works if you post the direct link to the .gif file but most users won't do that.)7 votes -
Support for older Android version - starting from 4.0+
Android 4.4 is to high requirement. Slack app support also older Android versions, why Mattermost can't? 4.0+ would be reasonable.

Hotlink preview for uploaded image instead of thumbnail
When uploading images it will be nice to have a preview features (like when entering an image through a link) instead of the current generated thumbnail which is not very representative of the image. This is somehow how Slack is showing uploaded image.

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 -

direct message
Improve search/filter during direct message.
With more than 100 users, it is really tough to find the user for DM through scrolling. Sometimes the user only know the first name and not last name... or worse, can only guess the spellingWould be great if we could use
"mochi"
to find
"masashi-mochizuki"

Show Emoji picker for current message when hovering on message and typing space
It is a bit cumbersome to select an emoji reaction since the button is fairly small and all the way to the right. I suggest to open the emoji reaction picker when hovering on a message and typing space.

Support Ninja Edits
Ninja edits are post edits that occur very shortly after the initial submission. These edits do not receive the
(edited)marking.It would be nice to give users a little grace period to fix their spelling mistakes, e.g. 1 minute, before the
(edited)label is appended to the message. On Reddit it works that way.7 votes
