Add features starred messages, pin messages and mentions.

Components

Kontalk is a secure instant messenger, that allows you to send and receive text, image and voice messages to and from other Kontalk users completely free of charge. I have come to really like the app though it is still not popular as expected.

Proposal

I wish to propose that the above mentioned suggestion be considered as it will help easy access to important messages that were pinned or starred by the user and the mentions should be added for easy finding of users in groups.

Mockups / Examples

The addition of the features that i am proposing is the inclusion of starred messages, pin message and feature of mentioning the existing users and replies to specific messages on the Kontalk chatbox. I will show you how it looks below.

That is a sample of how the additions should look like as some apps already have this feature e.g whatsapp, telegram etc.

why mentions are necessary

Benefits

The above mentioned is beneficial in many ways which in the case of starred messages makes it easier to locate and also keeping a record of favourite messages, pinned messages can be used to pin a message which may represent a rule or an important news in a group. Mentions are very important for replying specific people and specific texts. Above all, these options will be a great addition to the application and I want it to be considered.
