Just for fun, we now do a delightful transition animation when pressing the + / x icons (to the left of the message text field).When sending or receiving just emojis, we show the emojis MUCH BIGGER and without a bubble.Perfect if you use Light mode but wish it was not so bright at night (auto switches during Twilight). See Settings > Customize Look > Screen Color. Improved icon shadows (app icon, notification icon, task switcher icon and app icon color picker).Improved layout of Setting screens when using smaller Text Sizes.Improved the initial sync and resync process to ensure it runs correctly in the background and keeps the user informed via the best practice Android Notification mechanism.Improved draft handling so you should never lose a draft message again.Full support for Adaptive Icons (white as the background layer and chosen app icon color as the foreground layer).New feature to temporarily turn off WiFi when sending MMS which is required for certain devices and networks such as T-Mobile, AT&T and Xfinity.

Bubbles are now wider to better make use of the available screen width (ensuring space is still available when dragging bubble left to reveal timestamps).

All emojis are now rendered at a higher quality (most obvious when long pressing an emoji in the + panel).

WORLD FIRST: Added support for 3000+ (all) of the very latest (Unicode 12.1) Android, iOS, JoyPixel and Twitter emojis.

This is also customizable per conversation.

Save space when sending MMS by storing the compressed version of media, instead of the original size.

Updated the JoyPixels emoji style to JoyPixels 6.0.

Improved Blocklist feature: Against each blocklisted entry we now show a timestamp of the last message, just in case you want to check if a message has been received, but don't want to torture yourself by viewing the conversation directly!.

Improved Blocklist feature: You can now view a blocklisted conversation directly from the Settings > Blocklisted screen (so no need to unblocklist beforehand).

Improved Blocklist feature: You can now add numbers for blocklisting directly in the Settings > Blocklisted screen (using the floating + icon).In Quick Compose & New Message, you can now quickly set and switch your preferred contacts that initially appear here.
