In the past few months the Disa team has been very busy. We’ve introduced a lot of new features which will enhance your experience using the app. You can see some of them in the image associated with this news update. We’ve also squashed many bugs thanks to feedback from the community.
So, what are these new features we mentioned?
Updated Emoji Keyboard – Were you jealous when all your friends with iPhones got the fancy new Emoji set? Well don’t panic because Disa’s own Emoji keyboard has had a refresh and now includes the new set too. Go forth and express your excitement for the new features, in the only Android application which has that power!
Universal Encryption for Plugins – The framework now includes support for universal encryption of the messages you send and receive through Disa. This functionality is available to any plugin developed for Disa.
Share contacts with V-Cards – A very popular request from the community, you are now able to share contacts in Disa using V-Cards. Simply open the Attachments menu in a conversation and select the Contact icon, then choose a contact to share.
Built-in Video Editor – Preview and edit your videos before sending them. The editor allows you to choose a start and end point for the video and whether or not to compress the video before sending it, potentially saving you a lot of data.
Low Reception Backoff – This new setting which will improve battery management when your phone is in an area with low network reception. Enabling it will stop internet connected services from trying to reconnect while you have a bad signal.
Sending Multiple Images – Taken 20 pictures of your adorable kitten and want to share them all in a Facebook party chat? Now you can, follow this link to our FAQ page to see how.
Conversation Specific Notifications – Do you ever wish you could tell who had just sent you a new message without having to unlock your phone? Well stop wishing because now you can give each conversation its own ringtone, vibration pattern and LED color.
Improved Group Conversations – Members of parties have nicknames and you can now see when someone is writing a message about how much they also like your kitten with the new party typing bubbles.
Our Google+ Test Community has been continually growing and is now approaching 100,000 members! We’d like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of them, our dedicated testers, for their questions, bug reports, requests and advice. Without you Disa wouldn’t be half the application it is today. Thank you all so much!
