Calls • Every call running on another of your devices now shows in your call list, and tapping one takes you to that call — not a different one. • Moving a call to another device now says “Call moved to another device”, and leaves you a way back. • Call history is grouped by space, so calls with the same person in different spaces stay separate. • A group call you don’t have access to says so, instead of offering a Join button that fails. • Dismissing a call on one device no longer ends a group call still running on another. Messages • A message you open from a notification is there when the chat opens. • A message that disappears now clears from your chat list too. Spaces and contacts • Usernames are hidden in corporate and club spaces, which identify people by their display name. • Tapping a contact request opens it in the space the request came from. • Your active space is remembered when you sign back in. • Switching network refreshes your spaces straight away. Privacy • Deleting your account now removes its data from this device. • A failed Face ID check no longer reveals the screen behind it. • The app no longer gets stuck on the splash screen with Keep connection alive turned on. Also in this release: a swiped-away sheet stays closed, the country picker header clears the status bar, and returning to the app after a long time in the background reconnects properly.
