Alpha Chat
Security Notice
Changelog
v5.4.0
- Attachments for function are now handled by the app instead of the shortcut. Simply select attachments and then proceed with your request.
- Transscribe function is now handled by the app instead of the shortcut. Simply attach an audio file or video and proceed with your request.
- Replaced the long press menu with a double tapping menu. Double tap a message to attach, copy, or save the generated media.
- Fixed broken links being displayed in the chat area.
- Added a debug log toggle to the settings.
This is mainly for my testing purposes and I don't recommend enabling it as it will bloat the file.
- Major fixes and improvements.
