Bugs and Suggestions

Better, imagine:

Receiver:
---In settings:
------Who can chat me?
---------Everybody
---------My contacts
---------Nobody
------Add exceptions:
------Actions:
---------Block directly
---------Send invite

If receiver has "block directly", the sender can't send messages to that guy.
If "send invite" is active, sender will see a button to send invite. And the receiver two buttons, "Accept" or "Refuse".

Who can chat me privacy option does not seems to be a good option for an Instant messenger

ThigSchuch May 31, 2021

Seems not, but do a poll and see how many people want this feature.
Specially to avoid spam.

Everyone wanted tabs, but Telegram fixed it with folders. This should also have a similar approach. They want to consider opinion from users but it should not affect their growth

What is current issue?
--
Users receiving thousands of messages from unknows users.

What will be the issue of the chat request?
--
Users will receive thousands of chat requests from unknows users.

**In the busy world users don't have time to check all the chat requests or received messages. They also fails to find messages from known people.**

What we need?
--
There are different types of users like celebreties, politicans, businesses and normal users, all types of users should able to use all the features equally like public group, live chat. therefore diffrent types of privacy settings are required.

What is the Solution
--
**Who can message me?**

- Everybody (Default)
- My Contacts ( a waring popup when selecting this )

So everyone will use public group and it acually increase communication opertunity with right people. also users can save contacts each other to chat personally.

Definitely. I think such requests should be a separate folder which would work like Archived Chats, with the exception of not being always pinned at the top, but going to the bottom if newer activity appears.

Normally all new chats would send either a single notification for new chat or a notification for every message (debatable). In latter case it should be possible to mute the individual chats without accepting them. In both cases it should be possible to mute the whole folder like a normal chat (forever, temporarily) in case someone is temporarily flooded with new message requests for any reason.

However I disagree with the proposition from OP a bit. The chats should be fully viewable by receiver at any time, no need to hold to preview. Of course whether the messages were read or no should not be visible to the sender at this point.

Instead of accept/reject button, we could have something similar to current behavior. We could have a reject/accept/block banner, but there should also be a text field. Replying in the text field would automatically accept the chat and move it to main folder. Debatable whether some banner at the top should still be kept to block the person quickly in case they turn out to be someone we don't wanna talk with (which may not be apparent with first message), with option to dismiss it – which is 100% the current behavior, would just get delayed.

Of course the person who sends the message should see some information that the message went to a requests folder and will need to get accepted.

One thing to think about is what should be the difference between rejecting and blocking. I think rejected people should still be able to message the person, just after some cooldown. Most importantly reject option should not clutter our list of blocked users imo.
