New Features

With this release, we’ve completely overhauled our navigation and message rendering code to be smoother, more performant, and to lay the bedrock for future features. This also includes better support for screen transitions, predictive back, and formatted message support.

Improved Support for Incoming Calls

Tapping an incoming call message in a Chat will now send you directly to that app (if installed)

Media Management

Added ability to delete local media files

Note that local media won’t be able to be fetched again, but may be deleted explicitly to clear up space

The option also applies to periodic cleanup based on your configured maximum cache size

Hide Deleted Messages

Now you can optionally hide deleted messages, rather than seeing “Message Deleted” placeholders

→ Preferences → General → Show deleted messages

Telegram Topics

Added option to show Telegram topics as standalone spaces in the navigation drawer

→ Preferences → Inbox → Telegram Topics as separate spaces

Bug Fixes & Optimizations

Fixed an issue where…

a self-hosted Discord connection wouldn’t display properly

numbered lists could display improperly

media with no captions might render an empty caption bubble anyway

the video duration in the attachment picker was misaligned

HEIF images could fail to render on some devices

message search could be slow in a number of cases

you could be kicked from (or leave) a chat, and Beeper would give no indication that anything had happened

The post v4.39.0 appeared first on Beeper.
