+
+### 📱 Closed Conversations
+
+The mobile SDK now respects the `prevent replies to closed conversations` setting if you have it enabled. The text composer will be disabled for closed conversations, and your users will be able to start a new conversation if they need to. The UI updates in real time as the conversation takes place.
