MyChat 2026.1 release might seem like a routine update. However, it brings improvements that significantly help with daily workflows for administrators, developers, and regular users.
Here’s a roundup of what’s new in the latest version.
📱 Mobile & Desktop Client Improvements
- Android. The app is now 40% smaller and supports 16KB page sizes, making it faster and more responsive on modern devices. Users can also enjoy a native dark theme and change the interface language directly in settings.
- iOS. A new broadcast notification display list and an improved image cache make communication smoother.
- Windows: Enhanced internal message processing significantly reduces the risk of application freezes, while a redesigned HardwareID mechanism ensures better compatibility with virtual systems.
📊 Kanban project management
Our built-in Kanban tool is now more flexible. We’ve implemented automatic fuzzy search to help you find tasks instantly. Additionally, we’ve replaced fixed priorities with 30 customizable markers. You can now define your own names and colors for these markers, if necessary.
⚙️ Powerful Tools for Administrators
- User Management: New “Select All,” “Deselect,” and “Invert” commands are provided with hotkeys. You can also use multiselection and filter users conveniently.
- Log Viewer: Added text search capabilities to the server terminal and log viewer for faster troubleshooting.
- Optimization: Message delivery speed is sped up due to a data compression algorithm, and the server installation process is now three times faster.
💻 Enhanced Scripting
For those using MyChat for automation, we’ve added new MSL functions, including asynchronous HTTP requests. These tools open up new possibilities for complex integrations and internal services.
