Let me give you an example with Jabber. When I make a call, Jabber (conversation) immediately [tells me whether the contact is online](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9zNk8bqgBe0). In other messengers, like Matrix or Delta Chat, this feature doesn’t exist, and it’s very inconvenient. If I remember correctly, early versions of Delta Chat calls might have had this, but now it’s definitely gone. Is it possible to implement this somehow?

See [Call status is sometimes inaccurate - #2 by WofWca](https://support.delta.chat/t/call-status-is-sometimes-inaccurate/5435/2).

No, that was never the case in Delta Chat.

Is the implementation of such functionality being considered? It seems Matrix has listened to user feedback regarding [such calls.](https://matrix.to/#/!DutPDfXYX_Hi3CekWhkPVrG6WrZI73fWQUybhjPdMAk/$57gr5P83SKWKJUtSyxMNlpee3VK_B07ARPCso6l0HHw?via=element.io&via=matrix.org&via=zirco.dev)
