Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
Be able, by changing a parameter, to toggle a staggered view of the messages when entering into a 1/1 or group room, like in WhatsApp
#### Why would you like to do it?
Some users have reported this behavoir as an esthetical reason to not use Matrix... (I know...)
#### How would you like to achieve it?
Adding a parameter in the general section of the parameters, and when this parameter is activated, the messages are shown in a staggered mode into the rooms. The Element fork [Schildichat ](https://schildi.chat/)has already implemented it.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
The only alternative is to use Schildichat. I think it would be interesting to have it also in the main Element application.
