Your use case

When I open the contact picker to start a new DM, and type an email address, Element-iOS doesn't check whether an actual account is discoverable for this email
image

Element-Android triggers a lookup request to replace this email address with a potential actual account

There is multiple advantages to discover user on email here:

  • the end user has the confirmation their contact has a matrix account
  • we work on a new flow to create DM only on the first message Create DM room only on first message #5864, select a matrix id is more powerful than an email in this case
  • prevent the application from creating a new DM whereas one is already created for this user

Have you considered any alternatives?
