We’d like to suggest a new feature showing only a simple “typing” indicator—just like how it works on WhatsApp or Telegram—without revealing a live preview of what the user is typing. Displaying a live preview can feel intrusive and may violate user privacy.
As an online emotional support platform, it’s important that our users feel safe and unmonitored when expressing themselves. We want to support open sharing without creating pressure or discomfort.
We understand there’s an option to disable the typing indicator entirely, but if we do that, we can’t tell whether the user is still present or just composing a long message. Having a basic “typing…” status would help us stay responsive while still respecting user privacy.
Thank you so much for offering this chat platform for free—it truly means a lot to us.
