After clicking the picture or video, a user can swipe up to choose from the five filters which include cool, chrome, pop, film filters, black and white.
Albums
When a user sends four or more photos or videos, the app will automatically collate it in a group and create an album with a tile layout. The recipient will be able to open the album to swipe through the media full-screen.
Reply Shortcuts
A user can now reply to a particular message in a thread by swiping on it. Just after the swiping, the message will be positioned at the bottom of the chat window to type the message as a response. This will help in communicating within long group chats where a frequent exchange of messages takes place.
