We've had requests for this before and never opened a ticket because a simple flat view based on message creation time or arrival time wouldn't work well with Briar's asynchronous message delivery. But apps like Slack and Mattermost have experimented with new ways to show asynchronous replies in a flat view, so perhaps the request should be considered.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1442Use v3 hidden service for crash reports and feedback2021-11-17T13:38:12ZakwizgranUse v3 hidden service for crash reports and feedbackVersions of Briar that support v3 hidden services should use a v3 service for crash reports and feedback.

Both connecting via Bluetooth and WIFI work fine, but as soon as a contact leaves the local network I can no longer reach him, even though we both have a connection to the Internet.
I did some testing(randomly turning WIFI and the app on and off) and within 2 hours of testing Briar did manage a connection to the Internet(the Internet-icon turned green and the contact was shown as online) once. The things I did prior to it working once were: logged out of Briar ->(closed Briar)-> turned WIFI off -> started Briar -> logged into Briar -> turned WIFI on again. Every time I tried to repeat that, it didn't work once.

In the settings connect via tor is on "When using wifi and mobile data", however the user has no way to see whether this is correct or not. It is possible just assuming that it is working, which is something that should be clear.

I had bluetooth turned on and wi-fi too. The manual says that after scanning the QR code the devices will exchange information and the contacts will be added. This works fine, but what isn't clear is how the process takes place. "You must meet up with the person you want to add as a contact." This implies that bluetooth or local Wi-fi is being used silently. This assumption creates confusion because I then assumed that in Android one just has to have the services activated and the rest is taken care of, as you might expect for easy use in a crisis.
I now think that for the devices to send local messages one has to host a hotspot over Wi-fi or bluetooth. So this should be clear in the manual, how to set up the Wi-fi links or bluetooth links properly and what the requirement is for adding contacts. Is it local bluetooth turned on, paired devices required or not, Wi-fi transmitters active, or logged onto same network, full internet access? Can both QR codes be sent by secure e-mail and scanned by the camera at remote locations at the same time, what is the time wimdow?
"If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis." This is the only information in the manual and potentially wrong assumptions about it make actual testing and getting it working more difficult and confusing than it needs to be. The manual is quite compact, but needs additional concise information about what is going on.CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1196"Message sent" snackbar covers text entry area2019-03-08T14:25:10Zakwizgran"Message sent" snackbar covers text entry areaA user reported that in private groups the "Message sent" snackbar covers the text entry area.
