Saved Gifs function, similar to discord #856

Open viasux opened 2 years ago

Describe the problem

When people send me gifs, the only easy way to save/resend them is to download them to my hard drive, and this is a clunky method, which takes a lot of time and does not sync across devices.

Describe the solution you'd like

A system similar (in a user-facing way) to discord's saved gif functionality would be great, however, it could be done by forwarding media (with a click of a 'save gif' button) to a "saved gif" room which is hidden to the user, and then they could access said saved gifs through a menu in the app.

Alternatives considered

Saving gifs manually and uploading them, which both takes more time, and is not synced across devices.

Alternatively, the implementation could be to add the image to a sticker pack, which would make them accessible more natively. This could be very simple by recycling the existing mxc id but would only work with unencrypted images.

only working with unencrypted messages would make this function not useful to me
