Give each channel in the sidebar a badge that displays the number of "unread messages" in that channel
Add an option such that, if a channel has any unread messages, a badge will appear in the sidebar for that channel that indicates the number of unread messages. For my team, there can be a lot of activity across at least a handful of channels. It'd be amazing if a badge could appear next to each channel when there are unread messages so that I know how many there are in that channel. It'd be super helpful for triaging messages. To know if there's a little new activity in that channel, or a ton of new activity that I'm…

Absolute dates display
Currently, Mattermost only supports relative dates display. However, there should be a feature that allows users to configure absolute dates display individually.
This functionality would improve the readability of posted messages, reduce human errors, and facilitate smoother communication and management.

To use an Access Token to login at the Mobile app
I see that the access token is only for the API, but I wonder if at some point it would be possible to use the access token to access the mobile app? and thus avoid using the password (or in my case keycloak credentials) on the smartphone.
Thanks

Expose message edit histories
If users are given the ability to edit their messages, it is useful, at least for moderators and admins, to be able to see what their previous messages were. This is so that disputes between users can be resolved, where a user responds to a message that is subsequently edited to change the context and meaning of the response.

Don't show 'More' channels if none are available
Currently, the channel list will show 'More...' as the last item in the list.
If there are no further channels created in the team, then this item performs no function other than to confuse users. New channels are obviously created by using the '+' icon at the top of the channel list.

Ability to export all of a specific user's content when required for compliance
From: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/2291
In corporate environments it is sometimes necessary on legal grounds to check an employees communication. Usually the management asks the IT therefor to deliver ones communication. Currently an administrator is neither able to view the existing private chats from any user nor is there an export function to extract all users content from the database

Provide an option to show the amount of new messages in a channel
Actually we can see our amout of new mention in a channel, is it possible to do same thing with new messages ?
I think the bold text for new messages isn't visible enough, with a sort of buble like mentions it can be more visible.

Order DM and Members list by online indicator
- Member list (popup box) in the header
- Direct Messages list
- If you can change order by in this lists to order first by online status, then second by name, then it could be more useful.
5 votesThe member list in the channel header now orders members by their online status and then by their name.

Improve customization of push notification messages
Currently push notifications have very limited customizing potential. There is support to provide localized content, but the code assumes always prepends the sender's name to the notification text.

Android: fetch text in background for faster opening from notifications
We use Mattermost (self hosted) in a team of 30 people with about 20 channels.
On my medium performance phone (Xperia Z3) it can take quite a while (~20 seconds) from tapping a notification to showing the actual message, even in ok network conditions (WiFi or 3G+).
In the Desktop App, there's no such lags.I'd guess that by having the App run a background service which already fetches the text data for the channel triggering the notification could considerably speed up this use case.

collapse [-] PUBLIC CHANNELS
We use the favorite channels and direct messages, and therefore would like to collapse the public channels. Then channels with unread messages would only be shown.

Open/View any type of files within built-in applications
Also we need an ability to open any type of files within built-in mobile applications without the need of previously downloading file. For example: one chat member sends a “.docx” file to the group chat, other members can open this file directly by tapping the link once and choose an application to open it

Use Safari view controller to view links in app
Tapping a link shared in Mattermost currently throws you out of the app and into Safari. I would be preferable to use Safari View Controller1 to show the link inside the app.

android notification priority
Android has a notification implementation that supports priority levels. (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html). This means that you can define different priorities for the notifcation. lowest means no notification and max is that you get a pop up/in from the top even in full screen apps (like a movie)
Its very disturbing to have that pop in when you are busy with other stuff. especially in the weekend while you are not working (mattermost is in my case work related). If you look at Telegram, you can choose your priority for the notification, or at least this is possible via the settings…

Method to get/export channel member list
Sometimes it would be handy to export a list of channel members for example to form an emailing list or something. Can't find a way to do this either on UI or with commandline tools. Ideally it would be configurable to get Name or Email or both.

Send user name to end-points when interactive button was pushed
Currently, when interactive button was pushed, only user-id is sent to the end-points.
And this causes unnecessary operations on end-points side.
(need to search user name from user id via Web API of Mattermost)It seems better to send some information such as / command sends.
