 ### Encrypted rooms
 By default, the bot's session is not verified. Verification is required to view and participate in encrypted rooms. To verify it's session, any other verified client with the "Manually verify by text" feature can be used. Element Android (and possibly iOS) is the only client I have found to support manual verification by choice instead of defaulting to verifying by emoji.
