Microsoft teams chat is good, but it could use some improvements

My favorite messaging app: microsoft teams chat

It's my preferred messaging app for the following reasons:

1. Non-Google Login

On Android, using a chat system independent of Google enhances privacy and security. Logging into Google Chat automatically connects the account to all other Google apps, creating cybersecurity risks. Teams Chat avoids this issue, giving users more control.

Google should offer an option to log in to Google Chat without affecting other apps.

2. Comprehensive Edit Button

Teams Chat allows users to edit any message—text, photos, or files—at any time, ensuring complete control over their digital footprint.

Google Chat, while offering anytime text edits, only allows photos to be removed, not reattached. Teams’ flexibility ensures better content management.

Why Not Telegram?

Telegram limits message edits to 48 hours in private chats, while Teams allows unlimited edits. Additionally, Microsoft, as a U.S.-based company with a proven 40-year track record, feels more trustworthy for communication with family and friends.

Feature Requests for Teams Chat

1. Improved Voice Messaging:

I switched from Google Chat to Teams partly because Google lacked voice messaging. Though Google recently added it, managing multiple Google accounts remains cumbersome. Android’s "Private Space" is a step forward but only works in the default user profile.

Microsoft teams chat needs to tweak their voice message button though so that we can tap once to record and tap once to stop. The "hold to record" button is so finicky that it doesn't work. I press and hold and it release itself cutting voice messages to just a few seconds. Google Chat got voice messages right when they recently added voice messages for all users. You can tap once to record (no holding and pressing required) and tap once to stop, and we get a nice transcript as well. It'd be nice for privacy if the voice messages played out of the earpiece by default, instead of the speaker, for both Google Chat and Teams Chat.

Google Chat feature requests:

Allow app-specific logins (give us the option to not auto populate all other Google apps with a checkbox to not do so upon login)

An *option* to enter passwords for account switching. The current way is ok for some, but many want improved security with regards to the account switcher.

Enable private spaces in secondary user accounts. While private space works on the default user, for those of us with a 2-user setup still can't use private space in our alt user space.

Microsoft Teams Chat remains the best fit for my needs—prioritizing privacy, security, and flexibility, but I hope they, and Google, make improvements to better compete with each other to give users the best options for communication, cloud access, comprehensive edit buttons, voice messages, and privacy.

Continued thread

Now that I've explored the #EditHistory for toots, it's clear that seeing the difference between two versions is pretty tough.

I found a toot where the OP had corrected a tiny typo, and I had to screen shot both versions, put them side-by-side and eyeball them for a couple of minutes.

It would be great if history view highlighted the changes more clearly.

Just realized, while I'm a big fan of our ability to edit toots, I've never attempted to view the edit history.

Doing that now, I'm not clear if it's showing it to me. Will attempt with this toot. Edits coming to the space below…

The next line gets edited copiously:

'Reddit share price dumps to opening levels following euphoria"

draft - the inability to change your username once in a while feels like such a rookie thing. if they're trying to improve, I think that's just one place among many areas they could try to improve. Give users the option to edit their user name, like Twitter and all the other sites do. Also, maybe give people the ability to edit titles of posts. Also, maybe, give users the ability to have a few profiles linked under one account.
