We need to to tap on the \"...\" button to access 3 more functionality, for a total of 8 usable buttons.\r\nIf Wire keeps on following trends, they should add Stickers soon, and that's 9 buttons. **It will be a mess**.\r\n\r\nMy suggestion will be to first merge all camera functionality on one button: press a camera icon to open a small popup (non-obscuring) with the option to take a **photo** or **video**, I also suggest adding the **drawing** right here too, in a popup... and maybe the **attachment** icon too, or plan for a better usage of it. \r\n\r\n**Location** and **ping** buttons are extremely situational, so I suggest to either merge it or remove them entirely. Do you have data to support showing ping on the first part of the bar? \r\n\r\nAnother small UX fix might be moving the ping button right to the left of the Timed messages. It's more logical having it there than in the bottom bar.\r\n\r\nLast, and maybe the most important feedback of them all: **let us hide the functionality we don't ever use**. I can live with only GIFs and attachments. Other uses might add just photos and videos. Other, might only use pings and attachments. And others maybe just want to post texts and that's it, they won't ever use all the other stuff. Old school! \r\n\r\nWhat's important is that **we as users should have the choice to select what we want, and not what's forced to us**. Any of these changes should help with UX immensely.\r\n\r\nAnd please, suggest more ideas!"}}
