This page provides release notes for Chat SDK for Web.

Client API

v1.4.0

Released on July 3, 2026.

New features

  • Added support for sending and receiving GIF image messages. A GIF image message is a subtype of image message that is not compressed when sent. For details, see Send and receive a GIF image message.
  • Added support for setting, updating, and retrieving chat group avatars. For details, see Update the chat group avatar.
  • Added support for retrieving the following information when a user joins a chat room:
    • The current member count, using the ChatRoom#memberCount attribute. This count updates when members join or leave the chat room.
    • The chat room-wide mute status, using the ChatRoom#isAllMemberMuted attribute. This status updates when a mute or unmute event is received.
    • The chat room creation time, using the new ChatRoom#createTimestamp attribute.
    • Whether the current user is on the chat room allow list, using the new ChatRoom#isInWhitelist attribute.
    • The current user's mute expiration time, using the ChatRoom#muteExpireTimestamp attribute.
  • Added the ChatRoomEventHandler#onMuteListAddedFromChatRoom(roomId, Map<String, int> mutes) event, which provides the muted members' user IDs and their mute expiration timestamps through the mutes parameter. This event deprecates the old ChatRoomEventHandler#onMuteListAddedFromChatRoom(roomId, List<String> mutes, int expireTime) event. For details, see Listen for chat room events.
  • Added support for retrieving roaming messages sent by specific group members from the server. For details, see Retrieve message history of the specified conversation.
  • Added support for retrieving messages sent by specific members in a local group conversation. For details, see Search local messages sent by specific members.
  • Added support for searching all local conversations by keyword. The SDK returns the matching conversation IDs and their message IDs. For details, see Search local conversations by keyword.
  • Added support for retrieving one or more local messages by message ID. For details, see Retrieve local messages by message ID.
  • Added the ChatGroupEventHandler#onMembersJoinedFromGroup and ChatGroupEventHandler#onMembersExitedFromGroup events, which notify other members in batches when one or more members join or leave a group. Previously, the SDK triggered a separate event for each member. These events deprecate ChatGroupEventHandler#onMemberJoinedFromGroup and ChatGroupEventHandler#onMemberExitedFromGroup. For details, see Listen for chat group events.

Improvements

  • Changed the unique app identifier from the App Key to the App ID.

    As of v1.4.0, the App Key, including the org_name and app_name parameters, is deprecated in favor of the App ID. If you integrated an earlier version of the SDK using the App Key, no changes are required: both the App Key and the App ID continue to work with Agora Chat.

  • Added support for modifying more message types with ChatManager#modifyMessage:

    • Text and custom messages: modify the message body and the extension attributes (attributes).
    • File, video, voice, image, location, and combined messages: modify the extension attributes (attributes) only.
    • Command messages: modification is not supported.

    For details, see Modify sent messages.

  • Allowed group owners, chat room owners, and admins to recall messages sent by other members. For details, see Recall a message.

  • Changed the trigger threshold for the ConnectionEventHandler#onTokenWillExpire event: the SDK now triggers the event when 80% of the token's validity period has elapsed, instead of 50%. For details, see Authentication.

  • Added support for retrieving a group member list that includes each member's role and join time, using ChatGroupManager#fetchGroupMembersInfo. For details, see Retrieve the chat group member list.

  • Optimized certain database operations.

  • Optimized the reconnection logic to automatically switch reconnection addresses by default.

  • Added the device timezone offset to log files to facilitate troubleshooting.

  • Improved the loading performance of the local conversation list when the latest message is an attachment by removing redundant file length checks.

Issues fixed

  • Messages in memory were not deleted when the corresponding local conversation was removed.
  • The TYPE field was empty in the ChatThreadEventHandler#onUserKickOutOfChatThread event.
  • ChatEventHandler#onMessageContentChanged did not return modification details when editing message types other than text and custom messages.
  • After a group or chat room was disbanded, the SDK still fetched group or chat room details from the server after members received the disband event.
  • The database was mistakenly rebuilt when a SQLITE_BUSY error occurred.
  • The latest message in a conversation retrieved from the server with ChatManager#fetchConversationsByOptions did not contain translations or message reactions.
  • A crash occurred under extreme network conditions.

v1.3.3

Released on July 10, 2025.

Issues fixed

  • Incorrect return result format of GroupManager.fetchMemberAttributes on the Android platform.

v1.3.2

Released on May 2, 2025.

New features

Issues fixed

The following issues are fixed on native platforms:

  • An attachment message can still be sent successfully in spite of failure to send the attachment under special circumstances.

  • The cache is not updated upon the addition of contacts to the block list.
