Deploying modern, digital workplace solutions have become a prerequisite to increased team collaboration. One of the most visible (and obvious) examples of this are messaging and chat applications. Where email was once the tool of choice for internal team communication, services like Slack have today become the default option for many. However, I’ve noticed a disturbing shift in the way these tools are used.
Ephemeral messaging (the ability to set self-destructing messages that automatically disappear from recipients’ conversation histories), is a common feature across many consumer messaging apps. But what about its place in the enterprise? Wire has offered ephemeral messages (or timed messages as we like to call them) as a feature in its secure end-to-end encrypted service since 2016.
As many know, we’ve been working on a massive UI/UX refresh for Riot.im over the last few months; starting with Riot/Web and aiming to make it radically simpler and more intuitive whilst still exposing the full power of Matrix.
The latest Riot.im has landed on web, desktop, Android and iOS, and the biggest change is support for everybody’s favourite European data protection measures, the General Data Protection Regulation!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Riot.im now supports stickers on web and desktop!
