Simple features to improve Delta Chat more usage [Reply on top, text selection, PIN lock]

Hi! The messenger is absolutely amazing! I’ve found some great public bots that really boost usability - thanks everyone!

Could you add a few simple features from popular messengers? Don’t hide “Reply” button behind three dots - it’s super unfamiliar, slows down chatting, and new users won’t find it right away.

And it would also be awesome to add text selection in sent messages and a PIN code for extra app protection on phone and desktop.

Big thanks! Now I’m bringing all my friends to Delta Chat!

Hi and welcome, and thank you for the kind words!

I assume you’re talking about Android? If so, there is a topic about this: Add "Reply" Icon to top toolbar when long-pressing a message. Short answer: use the swipe right gesture.
