BlueBubbles App v1.6.0 (Stable)
What's New?
You may notice that the title for this release no longer states Android
. This is because BlueBubbles is now cross-platform! We are also releasing the web app (see below), and the desktop app will come shortly after
NOTE: Please update your BlueBubbles Server to v0.2.0 for extended capabilities! If you want to try out BlueBubbles Web/Desktop, v0.2.0 is required!
Changes
The Big Stuff
- Introducing BlueBubbles for Web (BlueBubbles Server v0.2.0 required)!
- https://bluebubbles.app/web
- https://bluebubbles.app/web/beta (if you'd like to try out beta features)
- BlueBubbles Desktop (new) is still in beta. If you'd like to try it out, join our Discord server!
- BlueBubbles Web will only work with HTTPS proxy services and dynamic DNS services. If you are utilizing a dynamic DNS and it's not running over HTTPS, we plan to (hopefully) release a server up to solve this problem. In the meantime, consider using Cloudflare's new Dynamic DNS service.
- BlueBubbles Web may not work with the LocalTunnel proxy. We will work to hopefully solve this issue in the near future.
- Fixes empty notification summary (again)
- Delivery/Read indicators for chats
- Pinned will show an icon, unpinned will show text above the last message date
- Fixes issues with the incorrect last message displaying in the chat list
The Nitty Gritty
New Features
- Adds address, phone number, and email detection within a message
- You can now generate a QR Code on your Android Device to screenshot & save
- The QRCode will only be valid until your server URL changes (never if Dynamic DNS)
- Additional information is now shown in the Connection & Server Management settings page
- Ability to check for Server updates directly from your Android/Web client
- Icons in the iOS theme are now more iOS-y
- Ability to export contacts to your BlueBubbles server so that other clients (Web & Desktop) can use them
