  • 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.
