I’d love to propose a feature which I believe will be of extreme help to both the platform and its users. The name of the feature I’m proposing is an Automatic media download feature.
The automatic media download feature is a feature which should be developed and implemented. It should provide users with control over how media files such as pictures, videos, audios, and documents are downloaded when shared within the delta chat application.
Automatic media download feature should be the name of the proposed feature and it should be added to the settings tab. When it is clicked, it should display picture tab, audio tab, video tap and document tab all independent of the other. The above tabs mentioned should have sub-feature like WiFi, Never and Cellular when clicked.
When the developers are developing the Automatic media download feature, they should implement the WiFi option as the default option across all media files. What this means is that media files shared within the delta chat application should only download when the user is connected to a WiFi network. If a user wishes to change this, he can go ahead an do so.
Benefits
The benefit of implementing the Automatic media download feature is huge. Features are always a plus to any application, and it gives more credit to the developers.
The Automatic media download feature will enable users to take total control of their data while conversing with other users. They’ll get to choose an option which suits them at all times.
For instance, if I’m running short of internet data, I can choose never to download media files automatically until I have subscribed for an internet bundle. If I’m connected to a WiFi network, I can easily change my downloading option to WiFi.
I believe since the Delta application is open sourced, more power and control should be given to the users.
