    Feature release: GIF picker (Giphy) — send animated GIFs from the "+" attachment menu; stickers now work as replies too.

    What's new

    • New: GIF picker — a "GIFs" entry in the "+" attachment menu (rooms and threads), powered by Giphy: trending on open, debounced search, infinite scroll.
    • Animates everywhere: GIFs are sent as m.image with image/gif — standard Matrix, no shortcode semantics, so they animate in other clients too.
    • Works everywhere: plain messages, replies, and threaded replies.
    • Your key: enable it by entering a Giphy API key in Settings → GIFs (the app ships a public fallback key you can use); the menu entry only appears once a key is set. Search terms go to api.giphy.com only; the key is never logged.
    • Robust error handling: rate limits, offline, empty results, oversized GIFs and invalid/expired keys each get a dedicated message; a failed or cancelled send never blocks the next one.
    • Stickers honor replies now: sending a sticker as a reply or threaded reply keeps the reply context (and shows the reply banner). Replies sent before this version will not retroactively show banners.
    • Pickers close after sending and clear the composer's reply mode.

    Signed with the same release key as v0.11.11 — existing installs can update in place.


    Update 2026-10-05: the APKs above were rebuilt and re-uploaded in place (same version, same signing key). They fix two GIF picker bugs found during device testing: a crash when loading further pages of results, and static previews — the grid now plays the animations. Existing installs can update in place as before.
