Make an option to hide calls related messages

[J316]

It would be useful to have an option to hide automatic messages showing when a call starts or ends or a recipient answers

I'm surprised this doesn't already exist along with the plethora of other automatic message visability options we have.

I'd like to rework those settings so they're less unweildy, but apart from that this seems like a good idea.

+1 for rework :D

Any news on this?

[t3chguy]

Nope otherwise they'd be here. This is a very nice thing for contributors as it is simple.

I started a PR to add this option. I am not sure how to phrase it in the user interface, and the translator seems unable to process the text I chose. It shows up like this:

missing translation: en-us|Show messages about call information

Would appreciate any advice on better phrasing, as well as understanding why the translator failed and how that can be prevented.

Run the i18n yarn script.

[cheryllium]

@t3chguy Thank you, I got it. Are there other scripts I need to run? It's failing e2e tests and I don't think my code should be affecting that part of the app. Thanks again.

hey @cheryllium do you need any help?

They have already made a PR which passed the code review. It's currently waiting for the product team to take a look

@J316 The way call events appear in the timeline has been reworked to display them as event tiles, which automatically collapse together to save space and avoid showing a wall of call events. Do you feel this is still an issue?

[J316]

@robintown Yes, it's still an issue. Tiles actually make the situation worse especially on mobile.
