  3. Avoid spying FCM (former GCM, Google Cloud Messaging)

    Google's Firebase spying framework is in direct opposition to the interests of users who want security (security includes privacy).

    Chatsecure need's a message delivery system that respects users privacy.

  7. Nice to have WhatsApp contacts onboard.

    Must still have my WhatsApp open for contacts that do not use ChatSecure. It is difficult to get them to change but it would be nice if ou could chat to them and then get them to change when they can not open encrypted message.

  8. Barcode scanner required to import otr keys

    Why does secure IM app require me to install a barcode scanner that requires access to, among some others, my contacts? I would like to manually type password from keysync window to ChatSecure but there is no such option. Or am I missing something?

  9. It would be great if users could change the master password which was set during install.

    After the installation, it's not possible to change it or turn it off.

  10. "About" menu

    almost all apps and software have a "about" menu item with the app version number and some further information / links about the app.
    I know that I can also go to F-Droid or Google Play Store to find some further info, but the "about" menu item would make it easier for the user and it's standard in all apps.

  11. Github AND Bugtracker?

    I don't quite understand why there is Github and Bugtracker for CS support. Wouldn't it be better to disable one, so that all questions and bug reports are in just one place?

  12. Explain why permissions are required in Play store description

    I believe there's a bug/known issue in the compiler that requires identity. But this permission request seems strange for a secure chat app.

  17. how to open a transferred file?

    Receiving a text, jpg, or other formats files, we can see just a vfs: path.
    In fact I nether know hi to open that.
    Could be great if just touching the balloon CS to offer the possibilitie of decrypt and leave the open file on a path or open using default app for these files.
    Nowadays, touching the message balloon, with the vfs: path nothing happens.

  18. Comparable feature list

    Hi,
    CS on android is great; but besides some missing feature (working MUC ;) ) I'm missing a detailed list of which XEPs are supported and what features CS on Android entails.

    As you can read here:
    https://chatsecure.uservoice.com/forums/193939-chatsecure-ios/suggestions/6718650-comparable-feature-list

    I did ask for the same on the iOS uservoice page; having a comparable list like this on chatsecure.org would be great!

    Thanks!

  19. Hangouts in steroids...

    Keep the security features where 90% of Facebook chat, Google Hangout users aren't interested in. add group chat moderation.. Creator/moderator of group chat can kick people... Add existing features in your webpage so people don't have to install for knowing the features... Is it possible to send position? Picture?

  20. When playing audio files direct the audio to the phone's earpiece - not speaker.

    I think the ability to send encrypted audio files is excellent. However having the audio played via a phone's earpiece instead of the speaker would be preferable for obvious reasons.
