Highlights
Chat Payments#
Send sats privately inside a direct message, request a specific amount with a payment card, and watch requests settle or be declined in place. Every payment is transmitted through your encrypted chats.
Group Polls and Message Zaps#
Create polls directly from the group composer, vote, follow the live results, and pin a poll above the feed for everyone.
Zap any group message like a reaction and receive a verified sats indicator once the payment settles.
Paper Receipts in the Wallet#
The payment success screen and full transaction details now resemble a printed receipt, giving every payment a clear and human-readable record.
Date Navigation in Chat#
Jump directly to any day in a private or group conversation. Date dividers make long chat histories easier to scan and navigate.
Presence-Based Member List#
Group members are now organized by:
- Online
- Away
- Offline
On mobile devices, the member list opens as a dedicated drawer.
Encrypted Note Attachments#
Attach files to notes with full encryption. Copies retain their attachments, and images that could not be safely scrubbed are never displayed.
Identity Map#
The account relationship map has been completely rebuilt with clearer relationship lanes, profile details, and a dedicated information panel.
Technical Updates and Fixes#
- Fixed a forgeable payment verification badge. The badge is now bound to a settled invoice created by the payee's own payment service.
- A member's own group zaps are now verified locally, preventing the interface from displaying an amount that was not witnessed by the relay.
- Fixed group access toggles that could previously not be disabled again.
- Verified role capabilities are now displayed in the member roles dialog.
- Hardened group polls, message zaps, and chat history pagination.
- Added 21Channels support, including tags and badge handling for both legacy and current event formats.
- Thread and discussion replies are now counted only when their parent message renders as an openable row.
- Removed a menu snapshot that was committed accidentally.
