File drop on sidebar, albums, and more

Album

When a teammate sends 10 photos it's easy to lose track of the conversation. Now we group these photos and files together. You'll see small thumbnails stacked together horizontally for maximum readability in threads.

Send files and photos by dropping on the sidebar

Instead of opening a chat first, now you can directly drop your file over any of the sidebar items. This speeds up your workflow.

Manage your login sessions

Recently we revamped how logins work behind the scenes to allow your devices to correctly sync for notifications and online status. Now we’re exposing this visibility to you in a neat interface. You can secure your account by revoking your old sessions.
