Original release notes

Shared media in every chat
You can now see everything shared in a chat — drawings, voice messages, and photos — all in one place. Just tap the name at the top of any chat.

Treasures
A place for the little things worth holding on to. Kids can save their favourite drawings, voice messages, and photos to their own Treasures — a private collection just for them. Parents get a collection for each child too, so everything their child sends them can be kept together.
