Refreshing the messenger
Today we’re introducing a friendlier, more-focused Tribes messenger. It’s better for you now, and it’s better prepared for where we’re headed soon, together.
We’ve refreshed chat, home, profiles and more — informed and inspired by your feedback. Thank you!
These improvements are available now in the App Store and on Google Play. Here’s what’s new.
Chat is hella better
Quote replies are here. GIFs are here. Reactions are smooth like butter, and you can now view who reacted, too. It all runs flat out faster, as it should be.
(There’s more to see here soon, but we’re not ready to tip you off just yet.)
Your web3 is in one place
Your web3 world — recent contacts, Safe™ multisig groups, collectible communities and more — is all together, one tap away in For You. Convos you chime into are added to your chat list.
We used to surface these inline as suggestions on some pages, but that was a bit awkward.
Profiles are proper galleries
Your collectibles used to appear so small, mixed in with coins and logos and what not. No more. Collectibles show up big and beautiful now.
Home is your chat list
Bye-bye, bottom tab bar. This app is all about chats, and its navigation better reflects that now. Invites from new people no longer mix into the chat list — they’re in their own zone, out of sight until you care to see them.
Private group chats for collectibles owners
Collectibles communities are now private group chats — accessible only to token holders. They show up in your chat list automatically if you choose to participate.
They used to be timelines (too much). They used to be visible to the public (too weird). This feels just right.
There’s lots more new in there, too. Visible stuff like quick account switching, upload a profile pic image, and copy-able message text. And invisible stuff. So much invisible stuff.
There are many ways to make a product better, but there’s nothing quite like hearing directly from the people using it every dang day.
Thanks so much for the feedback that informed these changes and keeps lighting our way forward.
Ping tribes in the app anytime, with anything. We love to hear from you.
