Your use case
Problem / Current behavior
Element X does not show whether a user is currently online or offline.
In the room list and inside chats, there is no indicator (green dot, status text, or any visual cue) to show if the other person is online right now.
Expected behavior
I would like Element X to display the online status of users, for example:
1-A green dot next to the user's avatar when they are online
2-"Online" or "Last seen recently" text when appropriate
3-Offline status could be shown with a gray dot or no dot
This feature exists in many modern messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.) and was partially available in the previous version of Element.
Why this is useful
Helps users know the best time to message someone
Improves the overall chat experience
Makes communication feel more real-time
Additional context
This should work in both direct messages (DMs) and group rooms where possible.
Please show the status next to the user avatar in the room list and at the top of the chat screen.
