Hello. In v2.62.0, the “\[last\] seen” time on contact pages was changed from a specific date and time to a granularity of “today” or “this week”. Unfortunately, this made the feature nearly useless for me, since I have c… --- ## [Profile name next to avatar in chat list bar](https://forum.delta.chat/t/profile-name-next-to-avatar-in-chat-list-bar/5904)
**Author:** [@Raiden](https://forum.delta.chat/u/Raiden)\ **Replies:** 2\ **Last updated:** [October 12, 2026, 9:49pm UTC](https://forum.delta.chat/t/profile-name-next-to-avatar-in-chat-list-bar/5904 "2026-10-12T21:49:39Z")
I think it would make sense if in DC-Android the name of the currently selected profile would be displayed next to the avatar in the chat list bar. Especially users with many profiles would benefit from this. --- ## [Remove "All Media" from settings in DC-iOS](https://forum.delta.chat/t/remove-all-media-from-settings-in-dc-ios/5900)

In DC-iOS, the global media library was originally in its own tab and was later moved to the settings. In my opinion, this is not ideal, because it’s not a setting. Personally, I found the tab very useful back then.

I’ve noticed that the “traffic lights” have become slightly larger since macOS 27. As a result, the gap between them and the top profile avatar in the profile switcher has decreased. It’s only a minor change, but I think… --- ## [Move locations to chat details or title bar in DC-iOS](https://forum.delta.chat/t/move-locations-to-chat-details-or-title-bar-in-dc-ios/5901)

I think it would look better if the “Send Message” button was not on the left side but in the middle of the contact window. Of course, this is only my purely subjective opinion. --- ## [Disable profiles](https://forum.delta.chat/t/disable-profiles/5897)
