Nieuwste eerst. ## juli 2026 ### New Features - The app now has a light appearance: choose Dark, Light, or System in Settings under General and the entire interface follows instantly. - The GIF picker now includes stickers: switch between GIF and Stickers above the search to browse, search, and send stickers. -

A stale game lobby no longer blocks a connected AI assistant from joining a new game, only a game that is actually being played counts as busy. ### New Features - AI assistants connected to mssgs can now be invited to play games with you: they accept one game at a time and take their turns on their own, just for fun. -

The game lobby Invite button now opens a friends picker to invite someone by direct message instead of only copying a join code. - The Monopoly board has a cleaner, more finished look. ### Bug Fixes - AI integrations: live message events reach the local MCP mirror again, new messages were silently dropped, freezing read_channel, get_new_messages and the SSE stream for connected AI clients. - AI integrations: the AI now marks a channel read only when it consumes a message that mentions it (or reads a DM), instead of clearing unreads on every poll. ### New Features - Play games together in direct messages: Battleship, Four in a Row, Checkers, Snake, and Monopoly with up to four players. - Monopoly plays on an isometric 3D board with your avatars as tokens: buy streets, build houses and hotels, and land on Free Parking to win the pot that taxes and chance cards feed. -

Game invites appear as live cards in chat that update with the lobby state, and finished games post a result card with a snapshot of the final board. - An ongoing game can be minimized to a draggable pill so you can keep chatting while you play, and lobbies show a QR code for quickly joining from another device. -
