Overview
- Group admins can choose to share 25, 50, 75, or 100 recent messages when adding someone to a chat.
- Sharing past messages is optional, can be turned off in settings, and remains end-to-end encrypted.
- When history is sent, all participants are notified and the shared messages display original timestamps and senders with a distinct look.
- The update is deploying gradually, and availability may require installing the latest version of the app.
- Separately, scheduled messaging and a redesigned iOS chat bar have been spotted in beta testing, with no confirmed release timeline.
