Improvements
Broadcasts (BETA ONLY): Broadcasts can now go to more recipients, now up to 1000. You can also add whole groups as well as individual people.
You can now save a broadcast as a draft: set the name and recipients first, then send the first message when you're ready.
A broadcast that only partly sends is now marked "Partially failed" and can be retried. Retrying won't send a duplicate to anyone who already received it.
Broadcasts now support image, video, audio and file attachments. Only supported document and media types can be selected.
Sidebar search now groups results into Users, Conversations and Messages. Clicking a person opens your existing direct message with them, or starts a new one.
Improved search results to be more user friendly.
Communities now show the correct total member count, and the members list shows everyone - removed hard cap of 100
Direct message push notifications now show correctly in Microsoft Edge. Previously Edge showed "This site was updated in the background" instead.
Messenger can now be opened in a browser from the Evo mobile menu, signing in through Access Identity.
