What's New in Trellis
1.6.18
August 27, 2026
What's New in Trellis 1.6.18 Starting a conversation is simpler. Messages • Just pick people. The new-message screen no longer asks you to choose between a direct message and a group first. Pick one person and you land in your conversation with them; pick a few and you start a conversation with all of them. • Name it, or don't. Once you've picked a second person, you can give the conversation a name. Leave it blank and it's named after the people in it. Thanks for being part of Trellis.
