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"

add a go to date feature similar to stack
add a go to date feature similar to stacks. I use this for example to go to the top of a channel. Specially after joining a new channel.

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 -
Custom date display setting in users Account settings
It would be nice if users (for example for languages that are not yet translated for Mattermost) could change the format of the date in their apps like they can now change the time appearance. For example short date would be very nice option for many european languages like "dd.mm.yyyy" or even "d.m.yyyy" or "d.m.yy" (year wih two digits only).

Include private channels to search based on current user membership
Make Mattermost API channels search method
( /teams/{team_id}/channels/search )
to include private channels where the current user is a member.E.g. if the user A is a member of channel B and user A performs channel search, it will get channel B in a response from server if B matches the term.
In Mattermost 5.5.0 search returns only public channels in results. The only way to find channel by display name is to get all channels current user is a member of and iterate over them on client side.

Auto converted date time
In cases of a international team managing time zone is often difficult. It would be great if Mattermost supported some kind of timezone conversion. A user can choose his timezone in settings and when posting dates or times in a chat, a special syntax, probably something along the lines of (12:00 PM) would be required. The clients will auto convert the time to local users timezone while displaying. This could be an opt-in feature.

Push-to-Talk
While "texting", I would like to be able to transmit an ad hoc sound bite, so that I can quickly verbalize something without having to start a call session - not store-and-forward, but immediate live voice, Star Trek comm badge style.
I'm glad I ran into you guys in Punta Cana!

Support external keyboard
See issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/issues/2512
When an external keyboard and an on-screen keyboard is used, the chat input text field looses focus as soon as the on-screen-keyboard is hidden, probably because hiding the keyboard changes the screen size and therefore triggers a redraw/relayout. I suggest to fix this.7 votes -
Android Multi-Window support
Support the Android multi-window feature. Currently, resizing of the application window seemingly crashes the app.

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.

Add a pin icon directly accessible
Would it be possible to have an icon to pin a message directly, without having to click on the 3 dots? The solution would be either next to the "Flag" icon on the left (my prefered solution, like the picture below), or next to the Emoji icon on the right?

Have ability to close a channel without leaving it
Currently it is not possible to 'close' a channel without leaving it, or remove it from the sidebar. This can be problematic when you are a part of many channels, especially private ones where you will need to be re-invited to it after leaving it. For example, I would still like to be part of a particular private channel in the event that something comes up, but I would like to have the option to close it/remove it from the sidebar to avoid clutter.
Right now there is no method to close a channel from the sidebar and still be…
