End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ...

Both #deltachat and #signal go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. #Matrix stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.

Everything is better than #Telegram which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.

Fun fact:

Without any extra apps, just using #DeltaChat, you can read #Gemini capsules on any operating system where Delta Chat runs, using bots:

This is useful because you can then forward the message to groups or other friends without them needing to install any app to read the capsule

Thursday is a good day to delta with friends and family.

Switch a loved one to #DeltaChat – the decentralised secure open source messenger from Europe.

Fun funding fact: If we had 10 times more money to develop #deltachat , the #chatmail relay network and the #webxdc secure mini app ecosystem, we would still have ten times less than what signal has (let alone Whatsapp or telegram). But we don't want to increase nudging people for donations, as we have many users who don't even have a legal way to send us money, let alone the means. It is a special kind of reward that delta works where most if not all other messengers fail to work for users.
@gluek indeed, would be cool if one could do multi-select already there. i clarified the original post
@gluek thanks for the hint ❤️ this is indeed a pitfall. as this is just the system default gallery selector, we cannot do much on that but add it to the tip - this is what they're for

@zeus yip, of course it is known that there is room for improvements.

the current approach was the outcome of some discussions with user and a low hanging fruit, that enables quite some things - before, you could attach only one image - see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3351

at some point we will iterate over that :) we're a small team and there are lots of things to do, triage all the time

@Lioh you should see my other family profile. had to hire someone to read through all of it 😅

#didYouKnow that you can attach multiple images in #deltachat at the same time?

just tap the attach button, then "Gallery" ("Images" on desktop) and select all images from the last family barbecue 💡

depending on the system, you may need to long-tap the first image 💡

did you know? 💡 with the currently rolling 2.43 #deltachat #release, you can switch the profile on forwarding or sharing!

this is possible on all platforms, look out for a corresponding button or menu entry in the forwarding dialog, here on #iOS:
