I would like to see two changes in Proton Mail:

1. Allow users to hide the permanent “Unread” button at the bottom of the mobile app (Android). I don't need it, especially when it constantly shows “Unread 0”, and it unnecessarily takes up screen space.

2. Don't enable new features such as Email Categories by default. I never asked for categories and didn't want them, yet they were automatically enabled and I had to spend time finding the setting to turn them off.

One of the reasons I use Proton is that I prefer software that respects user choice. Automatically enabling new features and making users search for ways to disable them feels too similar to the approach increasingly used by Windows, Google and other large platforms: introduce something as the default and make the user opt out.

Please make new features opt-in where possible, or at least ask the user when introducing them.

And please give us more control over the interface, including the option to hide the Unread button.
