We are back with another exciting update for BCBP Connect! This release focuses on giving you more ways to personalize your profile, smoothing out your chat experience in the Discuss module, and squashing a few critical bugs.
✨ New Features
Make the app feel a bit more like you and navigate conversations with ease.
- Personalize Your Profile: You can now upload and update your profile picture directly from the mobile app.
- Faces in Your Inbox: To make finding conversations easier at a glance, profile pictures are now proudly displayed next to names in the direct message list.
- Quick Sroll to Latest: Getting lost in a long conversation? We’ve added a handy new button that appears when you scroll up. Just tap it to instantly jump back down to the newest message.
🛠️ Essential Fixes
We've smoothed out a few rough edges so you can communicate and navigate without friction.
- Reliable Notifications: We resolved a technical issue that was preventing pop-up push notifications from appearing on your screen.
- Effortless Reactions: We fixed an annoying quirk where long pressing a message to react would highlight the text instead. Reacting to your friends is now seamless and easy!
- Smarter Search: Finding members to add to a channel or start a direct message with is now significantly faster and more accurate thanks to an improved search algorithm.
- Secure Password Flow: Fixed a security bug where the mandatory "Change Password" dialog could be accidentally bypassed by pressing the phone's back button.
⚙️ Other Improvements & Technical Updates
- Optimized Dark Mode color schemes to fix visual misconfigurations and reduce eye strain.
- Disabled the ability for a single user to add multiple of the same reactions to one message to keep chats tidy.
- Added a visual loading indicator when renaming a channel.
- Removed the auto-focus behavior on the login page for a smoother startup experience.
