What's new in 1.6.1: • Channel posts now support rich formatting — headings, tables, lists, highlights and more. • Long posts get an outline in reader view, so you can jump straight to any section. • Write and edit long messages in a new full-screen editor, with a higher length limit. • More reliable calls — an incoming call shows even right after you open the app, a call continues with audio if the camera isn't available, the screen stays on during video calls, and audio keeps going in the background. • Bold and other formatting now render correctly next to Chinese and other non-Latin text. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.6.0: • More reliable voice and video calls — they set up over our own network, hold up when your connection changes, and recover on their own instead of dropping. The call screen now shows who you're talking to. • Group slow mode adds 15- and 30-minute intervals. • Get notified when someone sends you a friend request. • Forward several messages at once, including channel posts — they keep a tag back to the source channel. • If a group or channel you applied to join is disbanded, your request now shows the result instead of waiting forever. • Smoother upload and download progress on media, tap a text message for reader view, and scan a QR code from your own QR Code page. • Mute a group member on a timer — their incoming messages stay hidden on your device for a set time, just for you. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.5.1: • Channels: a one-to-many broadcast chat type. Owners publish topic posts that every subscriber receives. • Topic posts include a title, Markdown body, up to 9 images, a video, polls, and call-to-action buttons. • Comments and likes: subscribers can comment on a topic and like both the topic and individual comments. • Forward a channel post into any chat or group; it keeps a tag showing the source channel, one tap to open it. • Sponsor disclosure: when a topic is sponsored, a "Sponsored by …" banner renders above the body, visually separated. • Channel owners can retract a topic within 24 hours of posting; the topic then disappears from subscribers' feeds. • Long-press a topic or a comment in a channel and tap "Report" to send a report to the moderation team. • Acceptable Use Policy is published at blindpost.app/aup.html and linked from the About page. • Long-press a member's avatar in a group for the option to delete that user's messages from your own view (local only). • Search members by exact user ID, not only by nickname. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.3.3: • Group scheduled expiry: owners and admins can set a chat-wide message expiry in group settings, and every member's message follows it automatically. • Poll deadlines now respect the chat's scheduled expiry: the picker won't let you choose a deadline longer than the chat will live. • HEIC photos can now be sent (previously failed with a "format not supported" message). • Account migration shows a "Cleaning up local data…" step at the end so the app no longer looks frozen on accounts with lots of media. • Reading old group history is no longer interrupted by jumps to the latest message when new activity arrives. • Group member counts and admin badges refresh promptly after joins, leaves, and approvals. • "Create chat" page now shows the full contacts list instead of being capped to half the screen. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.3.2: • Smoother Wi-Fi ⇄ cellular handoff: messages keep flowing when your connection switches. • Group member lists stay in sync more reliably — invitees no longer appear "stuck" until they actually accept. • Audio files can now be previewed while still uploading. Tapping the progress bar no longer stops playback. • File bubbles show the file extension even when the filename gets truncated. • Chat scroll position no longer jumps when the network briefly drops and reconnects. • Unsupported message types now show a clear "update to view" hint instead of looking like a plain text message. • iPad and large tablets can now use the three-column layout — turn it on in Settings → Appearance. • macOS: Cmd+W now closes the window. Long-press / right-click on video bubbles opens the message menu. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.3.0: • Share groups as a card: invite friends to a group with a tap-to-join card in any chat. Pick "open" (joiners hop in directly) or "approval" (admins review). Available from any group's Settings page or the chat "+" menu. • Smoother image previews: opening an image preview no longer flickers — the bubble keeps its shape from preview through reveal. • Scheduled message expiry: pick a date and time when sending and the message will disappear on its own. • Audio files play inline: send a .mp3 / .m4a / .wav and the recipient taps to play right in the chat — no external app needed. • Browser fallback for unsupported videos: tap a .webm or other format your device can't play natively, and it opens in your default browser. • "My Groups" now lists only the groups you're still in. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.2.1: • Group chat history now loads reliably — fixed a case where a group could appear empty, or fail to fill in older messages when scrolling up. • Group member, admin, and invite-friend lists now show a short user ID under each name — helps tell apart people with the same nickname. • Jump-to-message in group and private chat feels smoother — the sender's name and avatar resolve correctly, and the "no more messages" indicator no longer fires prematurely. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.2.0: • Voice Effects — fun pitch-shift presets for voice messages. • Recall your own burn-after-read messages — tap or long-press your own burn message to recall, within the same 2-minute window as regular messages. • Burn-after-read picker now explains the rules — the recipient's countdown starts when they tap to open, and any unopened message auto-burns 36 hours after delivery. • Multi-select copy — select multiple chat messages and copy them all at once (burn-after-read excluded for safety). • Faster delete — long-press a message and tap "Delete" right in the menu; no longer hidden behind multi-select mode. • Clear chat history — wipe a private chat (chat menu ⋮ → Clear) or a group chat (Group settings → Clear chat history) to free up space locally; the other side's copy is not affected. • File previews — file size shown in the chat bubble before download; oversized files (> 100 MB) now caught at the picker, not after upload starts. • Tap the Messages tab again to jump to the first unread chat (or back to top when nothing is unread). Reliability: • Group message sync improvements — smoother catch-up when rejoining an active group after being offline. • Group Polls list no longer crashes when opened. • Desktop: Esc now closes fullscreen video. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.1.0: • On-device translation + image OCR — long-press any text message or image to translate or recognize text. Runs fully on-device; message text never reaches BlindPost or any third-party server. iOS / macOS use Apple Translation; image OCR uses Vision. • Voice messages now ~10× smaller — voice clips ship as 16 kbps Opus instead of WAV, no audible loss, all platforms supported. • Backup & restore overhaul — live progress, 24-hour window for big migrations, automatic database compaction, scrubs device-bound keys on import. Reliability: • Inviting friends stays snappy even in groups that already have 100,000 members — the picker instantly shows who's already in. • Burn-after-read no longer leaves an empty placeholder in chat (less visual clutter after a message burns). • iOS first-launch crash fixed — fresh-install users no longer crash when briefly leaving the registration screen and returning. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.0.7: • Cross-platform account migration (iPhone / Android / Mac / Linux) — switch phones in one tap. Sealed local Wi-Fi transfer with mandatory preflight checks before any data leaves. • Up to 100,000-member groups open as fast as 100-member ones — server stores no group data or member roster; clients load member info on demand from local cache. • Reader View for markdown — text messages with markdown formatting show a small M↓ tag; double-tap a message or use the long-press menu's Reader View to see the fully rendered version with headings, lists, tables, code blocks, and more. Reliability: • Avatar requests no longer retry-storm dead URLs (short 4xx negative cache). • Call ringtone stops cleanly when an early state guard rejects the call. • Top-news toast detail sheet caps at 85% screen height — long announcements no longer push the close button off-screen on small devices. • Message credential now shows file name for file messages; voice messages no longer hang on a spinner; image save on iOS uses the correct path. • Search results reliably jump to the matching message, including older history. • Stability and privacy improvements. Full changelog: blindpost.app/releases/

What's new in 1.0.6: • Multi-image grid bubble (2–9 photos/videos collapse into one bubble, per-chat toggle). • Group nickname — per-group display name. • Prekey auto-rotates every 24h (was weekly). • Image viewer: tap small images to fill screen, double-tap zoom 2×, pinch-to-zoom fixed.

What's new in 1.0.5: • Fixed: voice messages stuck on "loading" • Group ops now time out after 15s • Reactions: 28 emojis in two rows • Action menu: 9-grid layout with blue icons; long-press shows full label • Fixed blank popup overlays • Privacy: user ID lookup shows a SHA-256 fingerprint of the Prekey instead of the raw key — blocks scraping → spam • "Edit Profile" adds Prekey Fingerprint + Signature rows • Chats and contacts unaffected

• Vote directly from Poll Detail page • App Store link in About page • Improved "Import from text" dialog for polls • Message forwarding now supports text, image, video, file & contact • Localization improvements across 6 languages • Bug fixes and stability improvements
