  • Delta Chat version: 1.46.5

I recently changed the displayname for my delta account to "dkg ✅✓✔☑".

As a result, when a contact using DeltaChat android 1.46.5 looks to see whether i'm verified (i am, on their system), they see this:

checkmarks-android

If i wasn't verified, they would see the same thing, but the last checkmark would be missing.

I don't think we can expect users to distinguish between the different types of checkmarks, which means that a user can't defend themselves against someone putting a checkmark in their username to make the recipient think that they're verified.

(this is the same as deltachat/interface#71 but for android)

thanks for bringing that up, discussion takes place in the other issue at deltachat/interface#71 ; closing this issue here as there is no concrete actionable item for android currently

@r10s r10s closed this as not planned Won't fix, can't repro, duplicate, stale Jul 13, 2024
