Silent Messages
Add the ability to send silent messages that don't trigger notifications to recipients, allowing for asynchronous communication across different time zones without disturbing colleagues.
Currently, when team members in different time zones need to communicate, sending messages during the recipient's off-hours can be disruptive. There's no way to send a message that the recipient can see when they're back online without triggering immediate notifications that might wake them up or interrupt their personal time.
- Add a "Send Silently" toggle button or icon next to the regular send button
- Alternative: Long-press the send button to reveal silent send option
- Visual indicator on silent messages (e.g., moon icon, muted bell icon)
- Option in message composer settings to default to silent mode during certain hours
Alternative Solutions Considered:
1. Scheduled Messages: Allow scheduling messages for later delivery
2. Do Not Disturb Integration: Respect system DND settings
3. Time Zone Awareness: Show recipient's local time before sending
