If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.

It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions). Also, no, I won't "just use XMPP".

Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.

(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)

Not in Matrix itself but in Element, the reference client for Matrix, I am missing two functions:
- support for multiple accounts
- the ability to switch these accounts on and off temporarily and easily.
In Conversations, an XMPP app, this is implemented in an exemplary way in my opinion.

@oausi @cyrus (please don't call Element a reference implementation, it is not, it does not even implement all features of the protocol, some of which are implemented in competing clients. Element is simply the biggest player on the field, driving most of Matrix development, and implementing features even before they land officially in the protocol because that process requires a proven working implementation to get accepted.)
