Description Justin Zobel 2025-01-08 06:04:00 UTC

Please :)

I understand Matrix is all about security, but we can start unencrypted chat rooms.

If there is concern over security, a small warning that unencrypted chats are not recommended or less secure or something.

Ah, it seems to be when you do "Chat with user" right?

Add an option to disable encryption in new chats

Right now NeoChat (or more technically, libQuotient) decides to use
encryption by default in new chats. Some users may not prefer or need
this, so a new option is added under Security to change this behavior.
