It would be useful to be able to mark images in a message “sensitive” so that they require clickthrough or some other mechanism to reveal the image. This is a UI feature not a security feature, it’s just so the uploader can indicate that the recipient might want to have the choice to see the image.
additional components for consideration:
- a group can automatically sensitive-flag all image/video uploads.
- a user can mark another user to always sensitive-flag their uploads for just that user (entirely recipient-side, sender doesn’t know.)
- user can set in settings to never sensitive-flag.
I believe that this would be a good user-centric feature, to make Delta Chat more friendly in some circumstances where there is potentially offensive content.
