Benchmark text on other Apps
TG: Action is Named Invite Friend located in left pannel, msg is:

"Hey let's switch to Telegram, https://tele..org/Rekrj"

WA: Action is named ❤️ tell a friend located in settings and msg is:

Several Options available to add the 'Invite friend action`

  1. Put it in the FAB button for DM

  1. Put it as an option in the Create DM screen

@BillCarsonFr imo the shorter the better: Let's chat in Element, .... or Let's switch to Element, .... and let people say more if they want to.

Longer ones risk putting a lot of words into people's mouths that don't sounds authentic. We also possibly can't see we're that fast or that simple, yet, or that calling works in the expected way, so feels wrong to make it into a longer advert.
