June 28, 2019 by bjørn, holga
A new and much enhanced Android version (0.500.0) is released and available on Google-Play and soon F-droid. It is the most feature-rich, UX-refined and robust version of Delta Chat to date and incorporates chinese translations now, along with updates to 19 other localizations. There now is a revamped Chat profile view which combines gallery, document, settings and member list in a new tab layout, apart from allowing to see “shared chats” with individual contacts.
Other major highlights are:
- video recording, including automatic recoding to smaller size
- forward/share allows creating new chats, searching, direct share and more
- improved notification handling, should now behave more intuitively
- improved ui: touch friendly, better looking
- improved support for older phones
See the Android changelog for a more detailed overview - and also note the list of all the people who have contributed to this version, thanks a thousand times!
On the download page you’ll also find the Delta Chat Desktop releases from yesterday. Delta Chat is multi-device capable.
