Create encrypted room with somebody in any Matrix client before any NeoChat verifications 2. Type there messages 3. Install NeoChat and verify your devices OBSERVED RESULT I see all my rooms, but messages in them are encrypted and I see a text on each message: "This message is encrypted and the sender has not shared the key with this device." But, to be honest, new messages are seen on all devices. EXPECTED RESULT Messages should be decrypted and seen in NeoChat when device is verified. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Did you activate the "Never send encrypted messages to unverified sessions from this session" checkbox in element? if you do that, it won't send encryption keys to unverified sessions

NeoChat doesn't care whether it is verified or not. If messages can't be decrypted because neochat is unverified, that must be due to the sending device. That being said, my inital question was, of course, misguided: What matters is whether the sender's client is configured to only send encryption keys to verified devices, not yours. Your problem seems to be about messages that were sent before neochat was even logged in; decrypting those will be possible with the next release of libquotient, which is coming very soon.
