Meetings get host controls and more than one screen share at once. Hosts and co-hosts decide who can share and draw, mute people on entry or all at once, work through raised hands, spotlight someone, and make co-hosts. Several people can share their screen at the same time, you pin the cameras and shares you want to keep in view, and a share can be paused, taken over with Present instead, or viewed full screen. Also in this update • Pointer mode next to Pen on a shared screen, so everyone sees where you point • On iOS 26, share your screen's sound along with your voice • Open iOS Video effects and Mic mode from the meeting's Camera sheet • Turn off meeting sound on your device, or mute one person just for you • Open a meeting before it starts and it joins you when it begins • Turn your iPhone sideways in a call or in the meeting room to use landscape • On iPad, a redesigned message box with the formatting tools in one card • React with any emoji, type :name to find one, and short emoji-only messages show large • GIFs now send and play animated, and Live Photos send as Live Photos • Links without https:// are clickable, and Find in this chat shows every match in a message • While you share your screen in the app, Connect Spaces holds its own pop-ups and shows what you missed when you stop • Old calls that already ended no longer ring or show as missed after your phone was offline • German, Dutch, Portuguese and Turkish wording refreshed

Announcement groups come to Club and Corporate Spaces. The owner and admins post; everyone else reads, reacts and acknowledges posts that ask for it, and can reply privately to a moderator. Posts can be scheduled ahead, and a group's owner can turn an existing group into one. Also in this update • Pinch to zoom in on a screen someone is sharing with you, in a call or a meeting • A message with several links keeps every link and previews up to five • Forwarding opens on the Space you're in and shows who you've picked • Long messages are no longer cut at 5,000 characters • A forwarded album appears in the chat right away, with progress • Photos and videos you receive save to your photo library again, and Save to Photos works • Group chats show who is typing • Opening the app when you're signed in no longer waits for the server • Sharing your screen from iPhone is more reliable, and stops cleanly

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.
