Go live for your friends, full iPhone Duo support, and My world: every country you've been to, on a globe.
New camera lenses, a Hall of fame for games, and your profile one tap away on the bar.
Plus lots of fixes and polish.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-10-10

• A brand-new feed: a timeline of what your friends post, newest on top. Post with photos, GIFs, stickers and @mentions, react, repost, quote a post or a public message, and swipe a post to the left to reply. Tap + to post a message or take a photo
• Calls on the new mssgs voice server: voice, video and screen sharing, end-to-end encrypted whenever everyone's app supports it (a lock on the call screen tells you)
• Voice rooms: raise your hand, push-to-talk, a soundboard, a channel status, and you can see who muted or deafened whom
• Slideshows: post up to ten photos as one post, each with its own filter, pick the pace and add a song
• Reply to public stories, quote a reply in a post of your own, and a new Activity tab for replies and what your friends post
• Tournaments: host one from a channel or a DM and share the bracket card
• Polls in messages, with live results
• Camera lenses: become the Wok Panda or the Frog, or smooth things over with Clear Skin, on photos and video

• New nameplates and decorations, and everyone in a call wears their profile background
• Hundreds of new stickers, now downloaded when you use them, so the app is about 380 MB smaller
