ArcaneChat is a Delta Chat client and was created with a focus on usability, good user experience, and saving data plan. Also the app usually experiments with new features that eventually might get added to the official Delta Chat client. **Main differences with official Delta Chat client:** * Support for some markdown styles in text messages (bold, italic, strike, etc.) * Support for displaying Telegram's animated stickers (.tgs files) * Support for SVG images previews * Multiple color themes/skins * It is possible to disable profiles to completely disconnect them saving data/bandwidth * You can easily see the connection status of all your profiles in the profile switcher * Extra option to share location for 12 hours * Clicking on a message with a POI location, will open the POI on the map * Last-seen status of contacts is shown in your contact list, like in WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. * Videos are played in loop, useful for short GIF videos * Verified icon is shown in the chat list for the "Device Messages" and "Saved Messages" chat to avoid fishing attempts by scammer pretending to be the official chats * Voice messages have more aggressive compression in "worse quality" mode to save data plan * Automatic download of messages limited to 640KB by default * Profile's display name is always shown in the app's title bar instead of the name of the app * For mini-apps developers: there are some extra features in the WebXDC API, check https://github.com/ArcaneChat/android/#webxdc * Better settings organization with additional "Privacy" section
