  • Redesigned media editor to better support tablets and foldable devices with improved appearance on screens of all sizes

★ The media editor has been completely redesigned to better support tablets and foldable devices, and now it looks great on screens of all sizes. ★ The new media editor also supports removing the audio track from a video before you send it. If the pastoral slow-panorama footage from your vacation to Scotland was partially ruined by the sound of wandering sheep, with just one tap your movie can become the silence of the lambs.

  • Group admins can now delete recently sent messages in a group chat. If someone accidentally posts a spoiler in your Book Club group and then walks away from their phone, a group admin can delete it to keep the plot twist intact. You can easily see when a message was deleted and who removed it, just like the existing “Delete for Everyone” feature.
  • Now you won’t need to scroll as far to catch up on the latest messages. If several new people join a busy group chat, or you receive multiple missed calls in a row, those repeated chat events can be automatically grouped together into a compact display. Sometimes less is more, but you can expand and collapse these lists at any time.

  • Group admins can now delete recently sent messages in a group chat. If someone accidentally posts a spoiler in your Book Club group and then walks away from their phone, a group admin can delete it to keep the plot twist intact.
