A new FireChat for iOS9
iOS 9 is here. This means taco and burrito emojis, endless debates with our friends about which features they like the most, and… a brand new version of FireChat for iOS9, available today.
Our favorite feature is 3D Touch. We love it! Here is how it works.
You’ll now find shortcuts based on touch pressure including:
“Quick Actions” for composing new messages and replying to friends directly from the start screen,
“Peek and Pop” for instant preview of the content of chatrooms, private conversations and URLs.
Here are some examples of Quick Actions:
Here is how Peek and Pop can help you find and join the most interesting conversations even faster:
Thanks to iOS9 App Thinning, FireChat will take even less space on your device (down to a tight 5.6MB). Safari View Controller gives you richer content viewing directly in FireChat. And if you’re on an iPad, the Split View will allow you to multitask to your heart’s content.
Last but not least, we’re adding instant syncing with Contacts. Even if your username is PotatoMuffin78, you’ll be able to easily find and invite your friends to chat.
We can’t wait to hear what you think about the new FireChat for iOS9.
