Cribbage comes to AirChat, and every game can now be played against the computer. - Play cribbage — the full board, pegging, the count and the crib, for two or three players - Add computer players to any game at three difficulties, and play on your own - Word Attack replayed: everyone takes a turn in order, every letter a guess gets wrong scores the player who was attacked, and the game runs to a target score you pick - Word Attack has its own keyboard, colouring each letter by what the guesses have shown - Friend requests no longer vanish, and friends stay in your list - A message to someone out of range waits for them instead of failing

This update is all about reliability. -> Messages now arrive when AirChat is in the background — fixed a Bluetooth wake-up issue that could delay delivery -> Your friends' names no longer get replaced by placeholders when syncing between your devices -> Fixed a sync stall that could hold up new messages from arriving -> Conversations that failed to sync now recover on their own -> Read receipts stay in the conversation they belong to -> Reduced the storage space used by syncing photos

All games are now free! Every game in AirChat is unlocked for everyone — no purchase required. Love the app? A new Tip Jar in Settings lets you support development if you'd like. Plus performance improvements and bug fixes.

This update makes AirChat faster and more dependable: -> Fixed a freeze that could occur when launching the app -> Messages now deliver more reliably, with smarter acknowledgments and automatic redelivery -> Faster, more robust iCloud sync -> Fixed issues with background notifications -> Smoother photo sending and improved message send experience

• Two new games: Four in a Row and Dots and Boxes. • Redesigned message-bar extras menu with a Liquid Glass morph on iOS 26. • The game view now shows an unread badge on the dismiss button so you don't miss new messages while playing. • Notification banners and sounds stay quiet while AirChat is open. • Cleaner game leave/rejoin flow, and automatic cleanup of stale games.
