Two small changes to make DC for Android/iOS better

Feature Proposal

1. Opening the media library by swiping left

So far, the media library is opened by tapping on the icon in the chat bar. I think it would be very convenient if this were also possible by swiping left in the chat by tapping the background. This applies especially to users of smartphones with large screens which they want to operate with one hand.

2. Open message details by swiping the message bubble left

Message details can be opened via context menu. It would be particularly useful in groups to also be able to access the details by swiping the message bubble left to see who has already read a message. WhatsApp and Threema do it this way.

Good suggestion. I’d like to see it.

I now think it would be better to implement only the second suggestion. Users would likely frequently accidentally access the wrong screen, as it’s easier to tap a speech bubble than the background in a busy chat.
