on MM android client: compress picture before upload (just like Signal)
Easy to understand. If i want my users stop to use Signal, MM-client should be able to compress image before upload.
I've seen so many posts on this must-have feature for years but with no result :(Thank you & regards,

Auto SSO/SAML login
In a SSO environment, it would make sense when only one authentication provider is available, to auto redirect the user to the sso provider page, so that you dont have to click on the login button.
In my case, i use keycloak with an active directory and kerberos, so all windows users are automatically logged in with mattermost in autostart if they did not have to click on the button.

Discard "New Messages" annotation by pressing Esc
The "New Messages" annotation stays on even when the chat continues/the message is answered. I would prefer if it disappears when I answer, or if that is on purpose to at least have the possibility to discard the annotation by pressing the Esc button.

Option to make username invisible
When creating a post or searching for users to add to teams or channels, only the full name or nickname should appear and the username should be hidden according to a configuration.
In my case, a username is linked to a worker's ID, which is pretty personal and long to show.

Line numbers for code blocks
When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.

Introduce a **Check Later Box** for improved async communication
A lot of times people want to drop a message to someone who don't need to check it immediately.
Examples
- Check these PRs when you have time
- Review this doc please
- Hey! I wanted to talk about the deployment process when you have time.
- Hey check this new video out on how TypeScript was created
etc.These are in general low priority items.
With todos and reminders, it's me doing the hard work of adding things to a todo list that I should check later. The current DM doesn't work because if something urgent comes up…

Add markdown support to attachment.footer
Currently markdown supported on post.text and attachment.text. I suggest to add support markdown to attachment.footer. It would be useful for migration from slack, where some bots and serivces use attachment.footer for adding navigation URL. For example, Grafana alert manager.
See full suggestion with screenshots

Add native possibility to subscribe to rss feeds in a specific channel
We received a feature request from our users: they'd like to be able to subscribe to one or more rss feeds natively (not with the rss feed plugin which no longer seems to be developed further). News on one of this feeds should be written to a selected channel including a notification for the new message(s).

Recommend a more privacy friendly app than Google Authenticator for MFA
Mattermost suggests that the users use Google Authenticator which is no longer is available under a free license.
I would propose making a different recommendation.- the MFA setting mentions "When true, users with AD/LDAP or email login can add multi-factor authentication to their account using Google Authenticator." But it should mention that any TOTP application will do.
- the MFA setup page only mentions Google Authenticator instead of giving a shortlist of possible apps, such as Aegis, a free and open source application.
As FOSS software, we should promote the use of FOSS software to users and not lead them to…

For Message Display>Compact, Colorize usernames, update to use color blind friendly colors
I really like the compact message display view. I use the "Colorize usernames" option, but the use of red and green for the usernames is difficult for me as I'm color blind. I understand that the contrast between red and green is great for non-color blind users, but it's super difficult for the color blind. This blog post gives some good suggestions as to colors that will be easy to distinguish between for the color blind: https://www.tableau.com/blog/examining-data-viz-rules-dont-use-red-green-together#:~:text=Use%20a%20colorblind%2Dfriendly%20palette%20when%20appropriate&text=For%20example%2C%20blue%2Forange%20is,blue%20to%20someone%20with%20CVD. Thank you ;) Love mattermost!

Allow users to reset "Do not ask me again" prompts
A Jira issue (https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-4815) implemented a modal pop-up that prompts users to reset their presence to "Online" when they first open the client in cases where they previously set their status to "Away" or "Offline" in the UI.
Once you select "Do not ask me again" you are never asked again. As a downside, there is no way to reset this prompt. You're stuck with your decision forever... unless you can hunt through the Mattermost DB to delete the right value from the right table.
Users should be able to reset any "do not ask me again" prompts…

ability to block private messages from other members
Sometimes in an open chat environment it's nice to be able to block private messages from a person you no longer want to have contact with, or see content from. The current hide and or archive features don't really do the trick. Having a click and forget feature would improve platform satisfaction and ensure long use.

Reverify user emails periodically
The system administration should have the option to require users to verify their email addresses periodically.
The use case is the following: Users signup using an organization email address that is whitelisted. However, users may leave the organization, and requiring periodic email verifications would be an easy way to remove accounts that no longer should have access.

Improve reaction list in webapp/desktop to the same degree as in mobile
In the mobile app, when I long-press the reactions area, I can see the list of all reactions and all people who have reacted with those reactions. I can also tap on the reactors which gives me the option to mention them, or send them a DM.
Such a thing is not available in webapp/desktop, there is only a tooltip on hover, which does not really work as an actual list of reactions.
I propose to improve this so that this feature - a true list of reactions which can be interacted with - is present in webapp/desktop as well.

Thread in multiple channels
Sometimes you'll have topics which belong to more than one channel. It would be nice, to start a thread on multiple channels and sync all replies to all channels so that nobody has to join additional channels.

Sort Emojis
It would be great if it was possible to sort emojis manually as to promote certain internal custom emojis.
