====== Description of features =======

===== 1v1 messages =====

Client is able to send, receive and display text messages to / from friends.

If client doesn't implement [[#message_splitting | Message splitting]], message size is limited to 1372 bytes.

===== Audio =====

Client is able to capture, send, receive and play audio to / from friends, using [[https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/toxav/toxav.h | toxav]].

===== Audio filtering =====

Client is able to filter out noise from captured audio using [[https://github.com/irungentoo/filter_audio | libfilteraudio]]((Using ''libfilteraudio'' is not a strict requirement, but it is supposed to make filtering audio in Tox clients easier. In a case where it fails to ease filtering, an issue about this should be made.)).

User should be able to tun on / off audio filtering.

===== Audio notifications =====

Client should be able to play sound upon receiving message / call / other. There should be an option to turn those notifications off, or tune them according to user needs.

===== Avatars =====

Support for avatars according to [[https://github.com/Tox/Tox-STS/blob/master/STS.md#avatars | STS]]((Single Tox Standard)).


===== Changing nospam =====

Support for changing nospam via UI. [[users:toxid#nospam|NoSpam]] is a small part of a Tox ID that can be changed with an explicit action from the user to prevent friend request spam, if the client supports it.


===== Chat logs =====

Client should have support for saving, loading, displaying and removing chat logs (history) of conversations.


===== Contact aliases =====

Client should allow user to set, display and remove alias for any friend.


===== Contact blocking =====

Client should allow user to block / unblock contacts.

Blocked friends would be unable to contact user, and user would appear to them as ''offline'' even if user is online.

===== Desktop sharing =====

Ability of the client to show the user's desktop in a video call, instead of camera input. 

===== Proxy support =====

Proxy support can be HTTP or SOCKS5 (or both). For an example of a proxy configuration, see [[users:tox_over_tor_tot|Tox over Tor]].


===== Message splitting =====

If client supports message splitting, a user sending a message larger than the maximum size means the message will be split into several separate messages and sent as normal.


===== Faux offline messaging =====

Faux offline messaging is a partial support for [[users:offline_messaging|offline messaging]].  If client supports it, it is possible to message offline contacts, in which case the message will be stored by the client and sent immediately once both contacts are online.

===== File resuming =====

File resuming is the ability of a client to resume broken file transfers. Partial support is support for pause and resuming file transfers.

===== Inline images =====

Ability of the client to display sent and received images.

===== Screen/Desktop notifications =====

Support for notifications appearing on the user's desktop or phone screen when receiving a new message, call, or status change.

===== Persistent group chats =====

Ability of the client to keep track of group chats and rejoin them automatically on reconnect / restart. Supported by [[users:toxcore|c-toxcore]].
