We are excited to introduce the overhaul of our Web Client app, all aimed at giving you an even better messaging experience. This release includes several changes and fine-tuning, resulting in improved navigation and making app features easier to find.

We would like to highlight the following enhancements in particular:

13

14

**FEATURES AND CHANGES**

15

16

* **Someone is typing?**

17

When in a chat, a new notification bar will pop up when another user is typing or recording an audio. Stay tuned to catch their messages!

18

* **Don't forget to send your messages!**

19

Now if you start writing a message in a chat but then switch to another chat without sending that message, a new "Draft" label will appear in the chat list so that you can easily identify it.

20

* **Enhanced moderation and message control**

21

Chat admins now can delete any message in their chats, enabling them to swiftly remove inappropriate, irrelevant, or harmful content to maintain a positive and organized working space.

22

* **Better experience with you attachments**

23

** When clicking an image shared in a the chat, you are seeing it in our internal preview screen. Now this preview screen provides new options to zoom in/out to better analyze it.

24

** When clicking on executables files, you'll be able to directly save them to your computer.

25

** When clicking on type of files like PDFs, .docs, .txts, etc they will be directly opened in their default external application.

26

* A lot more subtle updates for a more reliable and pleasant experience
