[martgil]

Hello sir, @tomholub,

A concerned user was interested to know when "sending signed-only" messages be available on the android/mobile app?

Thanks,

Hello, we don't have this feature planned in Android for the time being. We'll monitor the interest and may add it if we receive many requests.

Thank you for your reply, sir!

Alright. So far, we frequently receive a feature request about it. I will provide an update here for every new request about it I've received.

Thanks!

I was told that this was a planned feature February 12, 2020:

Hello Jay, that was me. Signing was indeed since added to Android when sending encrypted messages, but not sign-only (which I understand was your original request). Sign-only was originally also planned, but it ended up getting de-prioritized and at the moment is not on the roadmap.

I'm trying to keep the app simple for the time being and focus on reliability and other not-so visible functionality.

I'm sorry for the change in plans.
