Native v8.0.0
~2025.11.24 Major Release
Summary
This release introduces new group management features including join request notifications, group templates, and improved drag-and-drop channel organization. We've added confirmation dialogs for critical actions like kicking users or leaving groups, improved the group preview interface, and now hide messages from blocked users. Additionally, we've fixed numerous issues including notification settings resetting unexpectedly, problems with pop-over interfaces and sign-in, and various bugs affecting channel navigation and user permissions.
What's Changed
- Adds in-channel alerts and group item badges for private groups when people are asking permission to join the group
- Adds templates for creating new groups for different purposes
- Adds drag-and-drop to the channel management interface and improves the reliability thereof

- Hides in-channel messages from users you've blocked
- Adds a warning for non-host group admins when creating a channel in a group they don't host

- Fixes an issue where one was able to enter an ID other than their own as their nickname
- Fixes an issue where one was unable to mute notifications emitting from a thread from the root message
- Fixes an issue where kicking and re-admitting a group member with roles would appear to retain their roles
- Fixes an issue where other user's "pet names" for other users in groups would appear in push notifications
- Fixes an issue with OTP sign-in where if the device didn't have an Internet connection, the reCAPTCHA bot detection would fail and lock the user out of the app
