Also, to send a file, tap the attachment icon, and hit the new “File” icon from the menu followed by selecting your file. To accommodate the new “File” icon, developers have combined the “image” and “video” sharing under “gallery”. Now if you want to send an image or a video file, tap the “gallery” icon.

Further, the app now supports enlarged emojis or Jumbomojis. When you send an individual emoji or a message with no text and just emoji, the size of emoji is increased. The feature is similar to what we have on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
