We're happy to announce the release of message editing and deletion in our Javascript and React SDKs and within our NEW iOS and Android SDKs for Ably Chat. These additions will enable the development of richer chat experiences and simplify the development of cross-platform chat applications.

In light of the recent deprecation of MongoDB Atlas Device Sync (ADS), developers are seeking alternative solutions to synchronize on-device data with cloud databases. Ably LiveSync offers a potential alternative and can replace some of ADS’s functionality, enabling realtime synchronization of database changes to devices at scale.
