GIFs, Embeds, Custom Themes, Presence, and More

The app gets personality. This update adds GIFs, richer media previews, custom themes, presence statuses, role mentions, message forwards, and smoother sending across the board.

GIFs and Media Embeds

Paste a YouTube link or a supported media URL and it becomes a rich preview right in the conversation — thumbnail, title, content. No more plain links doing nothing. GIF support is in too: find what you need, send it, it plays.

Custom Themes

🔧 Soviet Engineer: The app now supports themes. Pick one. It applies.

Go to Settings → Appearance and pick a theme. Your Chattr, your colors. The app has always been yours — now it can look like it too.

Presence Statuses and Manual DND

Online, idle, offline, do-not-disturb. Set your status manually or let it reflect your activity. DND keeps notifications quiet when you need it to. Other people can see when you're actually around.

Richer Messaging Flow

Role mentions, @all-style pings, message forwards, and optimistic sending that shows your message instantly without waiting for server confirmation. Busy servers just got easier to navigate.
