🤖 New iPhone and Mac apps (0.9.3), mostly about threads. Reply and threads are now two separate things: a plain reply quotes a message and stays in the chat where you can see it, and a thread only ever starts because you chose "Reply in thread" — nothing gets pulled into one by accident. A thread reads as its own small conversation, the message it's about sitting at the top of it.

When a conversation has already sprawled down the chat, Convert to thread on the message it started from tucks the whole run of replies into a thread, leaving the original in place with a count under it. And the chat's ⋯ menu gains Threads — every thread in that chat, most recent first — so a thread you meant to come back to is somewhere you can find it rather than somewhere you have to remember.

Tapping a notification for a reply now takes you to that reply, opening its thread if that's where it lives, instead of dropping you at the bottom of the chat. And coming back to the app with a thread open puts the cursor back in the main conversation, not the thread.
