Wire keeps its secure web client steady: call quality, MLS reliability, accessibility

◆ Current state

Wire is an end-to-end-encrypted messaging and calling app; this feed tracks its web client's production releases. When notes are published they show consistent work on call quality (enhanced audio processing now on by default), real-time reliability (WebSocket recovery and MLS epoch-mismatch handling enabled by default), in-conversation search, accessibility, and Collabora document editing. A large share of the release tags, however, carry no notes at all.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is incremental hardening of a security-focused collaboration client — better calls, more reliable sync and MLS group state, document collaboration via Collabora, and E2EI certificate management. There is no directional pivot here; the arc is reliability, accessibility, and polish for secure-comms and enterprise users.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued call-quality and MLS reliability work plus deeper Collabora document integration; no single large feature is signaled in the current releases.

Wati floods search with Astra-AI landing pages, but ships no visible changelog.

◆ Current state

The crawled feed is Wati's SEO and marketing content — 'best WhatsApp API platform' pages, comparisons against Meta Business Agent, and landing copy for Astra, its AI-agent product (cross-session memory, native WhatsApp voice). It reads as marketing copy, not release notes.

◆ Where it's heading

The messaging centers Astra as an AI-agent layer over the WhatsApp Business API — memory, voice, no-code agent building. The intent is clear, but this feed shows positioning rather than shipped changes.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued Astra-centric AI-agent messaging; without a real changelog source, product-move forecasts aren't supportable from this feed.
