Description

#### What would you like to do?

See next to the room title how many members the room has.

#### Why would you like to do it?

When I belong to many rooms out of which some are small and intimate and some are large and growing fast, it is sometimes easy to forget how big crowd will see the messages that I write. An indicator of the room size in terms of member count would help as a reminder not to share too sensitive information and to be considerate of the diversity of people in the room.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

Similarly to the web application, the number of room members could be displayed in connection to the room name. Considering the limited space in the mobile UI, a suitable place to show the number could be below the room name in a quite small font size.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Other solutions I've considered are of a social kind rather than technical.
