Moments: Friends & Stories

What's New in Moments (v2.17.0) Moments 2.17.0 improves voice notes, makes sure your messages always arrive, adds message search across all your conversations, and refreshes chat settings, message requests, and the sign-in experience. The most important changes in this version: IMPROVED VOICE NOTES - Record in segments: pause and resume the recording anytime before sending. - Trim the audio from the preview so you only send what matters. - New liquid recording gesture: the button follows your finger, slide sideways to cancel or up to lock.
