• Voice messages are clearer and use less data. • The hold-to-talk screen is redone: slide onto Cancel or To text, release to send, with a tap of haptics when recording starts. • Delivery status is more reliable: receipts no longer get lost on a flaky connection. • Messages appear in the order they were sent, never swapped. • Messages still waiting to go out are sent even after the phone is locked. • Tapping a friend on the home page opens the chat on the Chats tab; back returns to the chat list. • A missed call is listed once; Activity lists one like per person and post. • On iPhone Duo held open sideways, Home and Posts sit side by side. • Small fixes.
