Allow users to edit the mobile phone number in the settings

When the flag is enabled, it permits users to edit their mobile phone in "Profile and Settings" > "Account":

Allow users to edit the username in the settings

When the flag is enabled, it permits users to change their username in "Profile and Settings" > "Account":

Best Practice: Allowing users to change their username may create confusion among users and admins. When users are able to change their "username" it may make it harder to track user behavior in the platform. It is recommended to keep it disabled to ensure that every user has a unique "username" as a consistent identifier.

Show message receipts in chats

If enabled, users can see the confirmation that the recipient has received the sent message.

Show typing notifications in chats

If enabled, users can see if the recipient or participants in a chat are writing at the moment of reading the message.
