What’s new
Version 2026.15 · Updated October 21, 2026
You can now send photos and files in SMS replies on numbers that support MMS. Tap the attachment button to add up to 10 files, and we'll let you know if one can't be sent by text. This release also stops draft autosave from retrying over and over after an error, lets you close a draft you haven't changed without being asked to save it, fixes videos recorded with the camera, and keeps the right conversation selected on iPad when you open it from a notification.
