What's New?

This is the long awaited rewrite release of nearly all the widgets in the app! It's taken 3 betas and a lot of testers to get to this point, so we appreciate all the help and support we've received from the community. As such, the full changelog for this release from version 1.10.0 is massive, so below is just an overview of all the changes. If you'd like to see the changes in more detail, you can view the individual changelogs for the betas on the releases page.

Removed Features

These features have been removed (temporarily for the most part) due to compatibility with how we re-wrote the app.

• Swipe actions on conversation tiles in iOS theme - use long-press for same functionality instead
• Auto-play message effects - not reliable and seamless enough for prime-time
• Reduced number of options in redacted mode
