Enhancement: Audio messages - More features

[krille-chan]

I'm using the android app via f-droid and was pleasantly surprised that audio messages have been implemented. As an intensive Telegram user, I would request the following enhancements regarding recording.

Note, these are blatantly copied from Telegram's model. They are intuitive and effective. For any familiar with telegram's voice messages, disregard the descriptions below. Anyone who has not used telegram, see below for description.

1. Press and hold to record, release to send

• This allows for single action, one handed messages without looking at the screen. I personally use this multiple times a day.

2. (Semi optional) Swipe left while recording to cancel/discard

• Telegram displays a task icon on the left side of the input bar, if the user drags their fiber left while recording and releases, the recording is discarded. This is effective for false starts.

3. (Optional) swipe up while recording to lock recording on, for longer messages

• Personally I use this less, but telegram includes a lock icon which appears advice the record button. If the user drags their fiber and releases on the icon, recording mode stays enabled. The user then has the options. A. The lock icon displays a stop icon which pauses the recording. B. The left side shows the text "cancel" which discards the recording. C. The record button sends the current recording.

Personally, I would be happy seeing press to record, release to send, and swipe away to cancel.

If this enhancement will be considered I can supplement with screenshots or recordings.
