PSA on direct casts

We're migrating everyone to a new, simpler direct cast system in the next hour or so. 

The new system allows you to keep messages *forever*.

Your previous direct casts are available in read-only mode for the next 28 days.

Goal is to have DCs on web in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the update info. Went to respond to a direct cast and saw this was not possible. I normally desktop use and did it find it annoying having to go to mobile to direct cast. Look forward to web version in a couple of weeks. Will image sends be allowed also?
