This update is about one thing above all: your messages arriving, every time. Photos, video and voice are nicer to send, and the whole app is lighter on your battery. MESSAGES THAT ARRIVE • A message keeps trying until it is confirmed delivered — after a weak signal, a restart, or days with the phone asleep. • Sent, delivered and read marks, so you always know where a message stands. • Schedule a message and the server sends it on time, even if your phone is switched off. This works in group chats too. • A new Delivery Reliability screen checks the settings on your iPhone that can quietly hold messages back, and takes you straight to each one. • Your inbox stays up to date in the background, without opening the app. • Deep fixes to how messages are stored and opened, so nothing is lost after a restart, a poor connection or a locked device. PRIVACY • Every message and call is end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the person you are talking to can read them. • Location data is removed from every photo you send. • Disappearing messages, with a timer you choose. • Face ID or a PIN can lock the app. • You can compare a security code with a contact to be sure who you are talking to. PHOTOS AND VIDEO • A new full-screen editor before you send: crop, rotate, draw, trim video and add a caption, then send with one tap. • A separate caption for each photo in an album. • Progress for every upload, and you can cancel just one of them. • Uploads carry on while you read other chats. • Videos are made smaller for speed, with no visible loss of quality. • Send files up to 100 MB. MEDIA AND MUSIC • A redesigned viewer with a preview strip, true proportions, a video timeline and saving to Photos or Files. • Galleries inside the chat, and "Show in chat" to jump from a file back to the message it came from. • One music player that follows you around the app. CHATS • Folders to sort your conversations. • Day separators and a floating date while you scroll. • A redesigned sticker, emoji and GIF picker. • Voice messages can be turned into text and translated. • You can see who is typing in a group chat. CALLS • Tap anyone's video to make it full screen. • The full list of participants in one tap. • Connecting and ringing are more dependable. BATTERY AND SPEED • A new Power section in Settings. Each visual effect can be turned off on its own, and they are ordered so the first switch saves the most. • The app does far less work while it sits idle in your pocket. • Heavy work was moved off the drawing thread, so scrolling and typing stay smooth. DESIGN • A refreshed look with translucent panels, floating islands and softer transitions between sections. • Swipe from the edge to go back. BACKUP • A rebuilt backup screen that answers one question clearly: is my history protected? • A damaged device can no longer overwrite a good backup, and encrypted data is never discarded without a recoverable copy. Plus many smaller fixes across chats, media, notifications and calls.

A big premium cosmetics drop • 5 new animated avatar frames: Comet, Sakura, Phoenix, Frost and Prism. • 6 new animated profile covers: Fireworks, Golden Fireworks, a living Coral Reef with swimming fish, a spiral Galaxy, the Northern Lights — and the showstopper: a Black Hole with real gravitational lensing, computed live on your GPU. Set it as your cover and your photo sits right inside the event horizon, with glowing gas sweeping in front of it. • 4 new animated chat wallpapers with smooth, seamless gradients. Choose how they move: always, when opening a chat, on tap, or off. Reactions, reimagined • Reaction emoji now land with a lively pop animation — you see it the moment you react, and your friend sees it exactly once, right when the message is on their screen. Re-opening a chat never replays old reactions. Performance, battery & cool phones • Major rendering overhaul: animated avatar frames and status emoji now share GPU textures, so chat lists stay perfectly smooth even with many premium contacts on screen at once. • Fixed device heating during heavy animations — up to 15× less GPU load on animated pages. • Chat and room lists no longer flicker or re-render every frame. • New switch in Settings → Media & profile to turn off cosmetic animations in lists and chats for maximum battery life. Profiles keep their animations so you never miss a look. Better sharing • Room invite links shared to other apps now open a proper invite page — and launch Secretly directly when it's installed. Previously shared links work again, too. • New "Share room" button right in the room menu — one tap to the native share sheet. Reliability • Group chats: fixed rare cases where messages could be lost while a member stayed offline for a long time — delivery is now durable end-to-end. • Killed phantom "unread" badges that appeared without an actual new message. • No more ghost notifications triggered by your own linked devices. • Purchases now credit reliably, and Restore Purchases fully refreshes your subscription — including across reinstalls. • Smarter recovery when a contact reinstalls the app: conversations heal automatically. Design polish • Matte, nearly-opaque incoming bubbles — comfortable reading on any wallpaper, including animated ones. • Refined profile page, cosmetics picker with live previews, and dozens of small visual touches.
