Hi! The messenger is absolutely amazing! I’ve found some great public bots that really boost usability - thanks everyone!

Could you add a few simple features from popular messengers? Don’t hide “Reply” button behind three dots - it’s super unfamiliar, slows down chatting, and new users won’t find it right away.

And it would also be awesome to add text selection in sent messages and a PIN code for extra app protection on phone and desktop.

Big thanks! Now I’m bringing all my friends to Delta Chat!

I assume you’re talking about Android? If so, there is a topic about this: [Add "Reply" Icon to top toolbar when long-pressing a message](https://support.delta.chat/t/add-reply-icon-to-top-toolbar-when-long-pressing-a-message/4343). Short answer: use the swipe right gesture.
