What’s new

Audio messages and a Files tab built for accessibility.

Reply with your voice when it is faster or more natural than typing. When you need a spreadsheet, PDF, or image from last week, the Files tab gathers every attachment in one straightforward list—structured for screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Leave audio messages in the composer

Record short voice clips alongside your text, with clear controls for starting, stopping, and reviewing what you recorded before you send. It is ideal for quick replies, personal tone, or any time typing does not match the moment.

One tab for every attachment

The Files tab pulls documents and media from across your threads into a single hub. Scan the list, open what you need, or download files without digging through message history—so nothing gets lost in a long conversation.

Your comfort matters

Dark mode is the default. Light mode is always a tap away.

We start with a soft dark theme to ease eye strain. If a brighter canvas helps you focus—or matches the rest of your day—you can switch to light anytime. The same care for structure and accessibility carries through every look.
