## Context
|
|
|
|
We want to launch our beta in Q2. This requires us to keep a tight scope and stay on the critical path.
|
|
|
|
Group chat is not as vital as 1-1 chat for the chat experience. It is also
|
|
likely not as useful for an MVP as public chat is, since this gives people a
|
|
chance to talk to strangers and it is open by default.
|
|
|
|
Whether group chats are in scope or not has been a recurring discussing and a
|
|
lot of effort has been wasted related to this.
|
|
|
|
There are currently a lot of outstanding regressions related to group chat: https://github.com/status-im/status-react/labels/group-chat Additionally, since group chats are private the encryption and security of those are generally harder than 1-1 and public chat.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Disable group chat for beta and don't work on bugs related to it until after. See https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/3995
|
|
|
|
This ensures we can release beta without blockers, and then we can take some
|
|
time to fix group chats properly.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
Group chats disabled in beta. People won't be able to chat in private groups.
