Excellent matrix client, hopefully it is coming to feature parody with Element soon. The only real draw back is that you cannot disable encryption for new rooms/groups. For my usage that has be swapping between fluffy chat & matrix. If there is some developer setting I can use to re-enable that option I would be more than happy to dig for it.

Nice client ! We definitely need a "people" tab though, to separate private chats from groups!

1. Allow option in settings to automatically Accept all message requests. It should be optional in FluffyChat Matrix Client. Freedom to choose 2. Please add option to set a welcome message auto reply which is automatically sent when someone messages you immediately even BEFORE accepting chat request, for example, "Thank u for contacting me. I will reply as from 9.01 Eastern Standard Time"

Great Matrix Frontend but I dislike that messages are shrinked to the width of the media. If you have a tall but narrow image the text is almost not readable. Multi-line text should have a minimum width regardless off attached media or not.

I choose don't compress the uploading video but the compressing video msg still showing up. After a while ....return error. I wonder what's in matrix developer mind ? Use an android phone with poor arm cpu power to compress a video ?? In fact the video itself is already compressed. If compress means convert the video to other format. Probably most android device will start crying and say : I am not intel or amd .let them do the """compression""" please !

This application is full of bugs. My keyboard gets stuck and won't pop up sometimes, trying to reposition my cursor while typing will most often result in selecting text instead of moving the cursor, and more.
