Hi,

what client for matrix do you use? We are using element, but i am very unhappy that there is no possibility to set a message to unread once its been red to remember for later. Does anybody know a client how has this possibility?

Cheers Philipp

    This is not a limitation in element.

    It is a limitation in matrix. The read indicator (the little avatar that shows how far users have read the chat) can only move forward in time, never back.

    Edit: there is mark unread functionality in schildichat, but only for entire chats, you cannot flag certain messages to find them later.

      True, but there’s nothing stopping some client from dreaming up a custom message that labels some previous message “unread”. It would only work in that client though.
