§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.
