- There are basic expectations around chat UIs.
- For example, the message you're drafting but haven't yet sent isn't visible to the other people in the chat.
- And the other members of the chat can't tell you've typed anything unless you see a clear three dots in the message area.
- But there's nothing preventing apps from violating this expectation.
- For example, in customer support chats often they can see what you're typing even before you send it.
- Feels like a violation.
