Device management - solve the problem of detected device names #12

Open lampholder opened 7 years ago

lampholder commented 7 years ago

Defaulting to the user agent is causing privacy problems (more detail here: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/2295)

I believe the scope of this task is to simplify the defaults to 'web', 'desktop' or 'mobile'.

I think there are lots of things that we could do that are better than this, but this is a safe starting position.

@ara4n - can you confirm whether we want to go with the simple solution now, or spec out a nicer UX first?

ara4n commented 6 years ago

simple defaults are fine as a quick workaround

@ara4n @lampholder: What is the default name for an iPad or a tablet? "mobile"?

ara4n commented 6 years ago

i see no problem with calling tablets "Tablets" if we know it's a tablet. Mobile is the more generic solution.

giomfo commented 6 years ago

simple defaults are now used in Riot iOS and Android.

This issue is still in backlog for Riot Web
