Calaxy v1.8 supercharges the chat experience including replies, emoji reactions, audio messages, pinned messages, special content boxes for shared posts, topped with some buttery smooth animations 🧈 and lightning fast performance boosts ⚡.

😄 Emoji Reactions

Now you can add emoji reactions to any chat message — because sometimes a 😂 or 💯 says it all. And here’s the kicker: standalone emoji messages get the spotlight they deserve. Send a single emoji (or up to 4), and they’ll blow up big and bold for max effect. Go on, spam that 🐸🍵.

🎞️ GIFs

You can now send GIFs straight from the Tenor library. Whether you’re feeling dramatic, romantic, or chaotic — there’s a GIF for that.

💬 Replies

No more lost context! You can now reply directly to messages, complete with a sleek back-reference arm that shows exactly what you’re responding to. Keep convos clean, clear, and connected.

🎙️ Audio Messages

Record and send audio messages up to 5 minutes long — perfect for dropping a hot take, singing happy birthday, or confessing you ate the last slice. Available in both DMs and group chats!

📲 Sharing Posts in Chat

Turn any chat into a party. You can now share posts directly inside Messenger, and they’ll appear with special SEO boxes tailored to the post type. Share a poll? You’ll see the voting options right in chat. Sharing just got smarter — and slicker.

🔖 Mentions & Tagging

Now you can @mention friends directly in chat using the "@" symbol or /tag World names using "/" to link directly to the World. No more FOMO.

⚡ Additional Chat Enhancements

  • Edit messages you’ve sent within 30 minutes — typos begone!
  • Delete your own messages, whether in DMs, groups, or Worlds.
  • Pin important messages to the top-right “Pinned Messages” area so nobody misses the memo.
  • Plus: Performance boosts ⚡, smoother animations 🎷, and the usual round of bug fixes 🪲 to keep everything buttery smooth.

v1.8 is packed with fresh chat features that make every convo pop. Whether you’re dropping emojis, sliding into DMs with a voice note, or tagging a friend mid-rant, this update takes your chat game to a whole new level. That’s all for now! For the complete list updates, check out our official Updates page.
