- Was not clear how to remove all messages for a user initially
- Looked for some remove-all command before trying to delete the contact
- Found the remove-all button on attempting to delete
- Concerned about how to delete all messages after removing a contact (We didn't think of this yet--so something to keep in mind)
- Described it as "Overall very straightforward"
- Multiple/single person chat icons were fairly clear
- Wants to know how they would revert to single chat with a person when in multi-chat, having both run in parallel.

- Took a couple seconds to find the "Add contact" button on the contact page, though it's the first/only they tried
- Asked "do you have a QR code?" to the 3rd party when prompted
- Maybe we should make this step more obvious or explicit? Many people would have no idea what QR code means, even if they were looking at one.
- Wasn't too certain initially clicking "identity" to show QR code, though remarked "not immediately obvious, though makes sense. 'Identity' is good."
- On receiving message, took a little while to decide to click the message. Wasn't sure if it would bring to a chat window or if they would reply somehow from that page.
- "How would I add Rob to the chat?"
- The other person added them to the chat, so I should be able to--otherwise that seems sketchy in a 'secure' application.
- "How do I know it's Rob?"
- Concerned with adding contact they have not personally verified; notion of contact & trust tied in users mind
- Should add a new color, indicating an added contact that is not explicitly trusted. (Yellow)
- Concerned with adding contact they have not personally verified; notion of contact & trust tied in users mind
- Clicked lock icon next to Rob's name to add. Was concerned that the area was just the lock (it's not)
- May be worth making it somehow clear the action area is the lock and name by tying them visually.
User Comments
- Confused as to trusting vs adding as contact
- "I can never message someone I don't trust--I consider a contact/trust to be different things"
- "Why would I want to have all-traces of a conversation deleted?"
- Later remarked they understand it may be important for different users, just not them personally
- Linguistically confusing with using delete and remove interchangeably in the interface
- Make it more obvious that "Remove all messages" isn't a "confirm action" checkbox for safety, as it's a completely separate option
- I can't message someone I can't trust
- Goes back to adding a new contact type, untrusted but on contact list with yellow icon.
- We should maybe add a "verified badge in addition to the lock icon" -- better clarity for n00bs.
- The lock icon has a good trust affordanceY
