Ability to “Also send to channel” inside a thread
As we are starting to use threads more, it would be nice to keep the channel updated when important updates are made in threads.
Slack solves this problem by adding a checkbox that says “Also send to channel” inside a thread. Would love to see a similar approach.

React to reactions
Reaction emojis are great for quickly expressing a sentiment in response to a message. It would be beneficial to have the ability to add a reaction emoji to those reactions.
For example, when someone reacts with “Thank you” I need to then type a new message to say “You’re welcome”, and if someone overlooks the small “thank you” emoji then my message can be easily misinterpreted as sarcastically implying the person wasn’t grateful!
Instead, it would be much better if I could add a “You’re welcome!” reaction to their “Thank you!” reaction.

Customizable time in scheduled messages
When creating a scheduled message in the time field you can only select minutes 00 or 30, and this is actually a problem, users want to create messages for example in 45 minutes or 15 minutes.

Add a "Message" button to the System Console -> Users -> User Configuration view
Sometimes when I'm working in the Users section of the system console I have reason to want to message the user or users I'm working with. It would be convenient to have a way to initiate a message from the individual user view in System Console -> Users rather than having to copy a user's username, exit the system console, and then start a chat. Especially when I need to follow that up with some other activity in the system console.

Option to disable threads
I am new to mattermost but this thread thing sucks.
I want to reply to a message in the same chat. 99.99999% of the time the response thread only contains a single reply and its not worth the hassle.
So please add an option to disable threads, or at least an easy way to reply in same chat that does not include manually copying the text and adding >

Show emoji in Thread view as you do in Channel view
SUPER EASY FEATURE / FIX
In the Threads list, show the emoji that are on the first message of the thread just like you get in Channel view.We use threads as key topics of discussion, many are related to things that need to get done. When complete, we mark the first message in the thread with green check. We also use it to report bugs by marking the first message in a thread with the bug emoji. We have several emoji use cases for different purposes across different departments.
For some reason, the emoji is missing in the Threads…

Facing Issues with NSF File Conversion Tools
Hello everyone,
I’ve recently been trying to convert some NSF files (from Lotus Notes) into a more accessible format like PST or PDF for use in my current audio-visual editing workflow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I tried either crash during conversion or don’t maintain the original file structure. This has created delays in my project timelines. Can anyone suggest a reliable and secure NSF file converter that retains folder hierarchy and metadata during the conversion process? Also, if someone could share their experience with using any specific tool, that would be a great help.
Thanks in advance for your…

Add "to:" search modifier, ability to confine a search to specific direct messages
Ability to search messages using a "to:" search modifier. It's great to be able to search for messages "from:" a certain user, but it would be great to have "to:" as well.
This would be helpful, for example, to help prevent me from asking team members repetitive questions. I know that a certain team member is the subject matter expert for a given topic. I know I've probably asked this team member a given question before at some point. If I could search "to:username given_topic" that seems the most logical way to find the last time I asked him this…

Feature Request: Mass unfollow threads
Mattermost gets laggy when there you are following many threads. To the point that opening the "threads" tab fail to load with timeout errors. See github issues below:
https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/23690#issuecomment-2611855763This is true to people that have been using mattermost for a while now, we have been using it for 6 years and using collapsible threads since they are in beta.
Being able to mass unfollow all past threads will fix this.
I have tried disabling threads in the whole organization and re-enabling it but it didn't remove the follows.
If there's any backend/sql command i could run that would be…

Bulk actions for drafts (i.e., delete)
I guess I'm an indecisive typer, but I regularly find myself having to empty out my entire list of drafts (from thread replies, in particular) on the desktop app. And since these are scoped to each 'team' I've joined, I have to do it N times.
A way to 'select all' (+ maybe unselect those drafts I want to keep) and delete them would be great! Thank you beforehand!

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…

Enable a user to begin sharing their screen without needing to create a call. Useful in environments where calls must be disabled but screen-sharing is critical.

Please, add custom notification sounds.
Now we have 6 built-in notification sounds, I and my team like none of them.
One has to disable notifications sounds instantly, because of the annoying bing and there is no option to change it to something more unobtrusive.

Feature to enable Auto theme switch based on MacOS theme
Introduce an "Auto mirror OS theme" toggle button in Mattermost Desktop for MacOS (and possibly Windows) client so it can mirror the MacOS theme setting (Settings > General > Appearance) Light and Dark automatically.
Many users would want to use dark themes for their apps to work at night, but Mattermost default theme is pretty bright in the dark.
Right now it should be a manual theme change to switch to the Mattermost dark theme. This would be a great step towards better user experience.

Snooze channel for 1h, 8hrs or 24hhrs
It would be nice to be able to mute a channel for a set period of time then it automatically unmute itself. Facebook Messenger has a similar feature called Snooze.

Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews 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.
