Central Chat App

**A new Home** Home opens with the conversations you were in the middle of, featured businesses you can search right there, and friends who are already on Central. **Groups in a few taps** In New message, tap the people you want and start: one person opens a chat, several open a group. A quick group names itself after the people in it, and the list shows only people who are on Central. **Follow businesses** Follow a business to keep its updates close. The ones you follow carry a Following badge in the Businesses tab. **Articles** Read longer posts with images and tables right inside the chat. **Share from other apps** Send photos, files and audio to Central from any app's share sheet. Share your location by picking a spot on a map, and share a contact from a simple sheet. **Calls** Calls work with your iPhone's phone system: one call at a time, and a Central call and a regular call never step on each other. Answering from a locked phone connects faster, and the call timer starts when you actually hear the other person. **AI assistants** Some people now have an AI assistant that can answer for them. A robot badge on its picture tells you you're talking to an AI. **Your accounts at a glance** Unread messages from the business accounts you answer for show up in red, wherever you are, and the account switcher shows each account's count. **Notifications from Central** News from Central now lives in your chat list, and notifications show images and play voice notes. **Faster and smoother** The app opens faster, the tab bar uses iOS's new Liquid Glass look, GIFs and stickers play inline, and photos you send to businesses arrive in a format every system can open.
