• 🚀 the "Raise Hand" feature can be used to play Rock / Paper / Scissors for Psychopath by changing the hand symbol in the main menu
• 🚀 the app will now show which day or night phase it is and at what time it began
• 🚀 players can request to join other private chats and invite other people into their own private chats
• 🚀 the Storyteller is now able to send night Signals to multiple players at the same time, by adding each of them as a recipient to the message
