What's New?

  • Adds video playback support for all platforms [Desktop]
  • Adds showing your live location in the FindMy maps
  • Updates iOS emojis to v16.4
  • Ability to generate a custom theme color scheme from an image

Fixes

  • Fixes issue where notifications may be spammed when a manual or incremental sync is completed
  • Fixes issues with loading shared attachments into the chat creator screen
  • Fixes issue where reactions disappear when they are edited
  • Fixes issue where edited and unsent messages were not being updated in the chat list
  • Fixes issue with transparency in the chat creator [Desktop]
  • Fixes issue where the socket error notification would be shown prematurely
  • Fixes issue where GIFs would play at a high speed (Thanks @MatthewStadter)

  • Fixes issue where the camera icon would show on desktop/web

BlueBubbles App v1.12.2

What's New?

This release contains a handful of bug-fixes to fix issues that we discovered in v1.12.0. If you haven't checked out the changes in v1.12.0, please do so here: https://github.com/BlueBubblesApp/bluebubbles-app/releases/tag/v1.12.0%2B53

Check out our blog post!

Note: The Play Store & Microsoft Store releases have been submitted. Below are also the Windows/Linux standalone executables if you prefer to use those.

Fixes

  • Fixed issue where shared media would not show properly in the text field when trying to share to a contact.
  • Fixed issue where the sync would get stuck on 0%

Notes

  • The APK below supports Android Auto
  • You'll notice there is only 1 APK to download. This is because we've now bundled all platform APKs into a single one. We can now do this because we've moved away from using a custom Flutter engine, to using the official one after they've finally merged our code!
