utox doesn't inform the user if sent messages have been acknowledged.

Closed this issue · 4 comments

It is possible to send a text message to a user that appears online but actually isn't. From the point of view of the sender, the message was correctly sent, but the recipient never received it.

If user B goes offline, but still appears online to user A, user A can send a message to B and the utox GUI of the sender will look as if the message was correctly sent although B didn't receive it.

So, the GUI needs to inform the sender whether the messages have been acknowledged by the recipient, or not.

Keep sent messages in a queue. If after xx seconds a message hasn't been acknowledged, inform the user?

Toxcore have a friend_read_receipt callback. Would use it.

old repo, and debatable issue
