Calls • Fixed calls ending unexpectedly — sending a photo or verifying a contact during a call no longer hangs up. • Verifying someone during a call now completes properly, and tells you when it's waiting on the other person. Mentions • Mention people in group chats with @ and pick from autocomplete suggestions. • Messages that mention you stand out in the timeline. Photos • Fixed photos opening to a blank screen that could only be closed by force-quitting the app. • Fixed pinch-to-zoom getting stuck zoomed in. • Picking a photo now shows a preview so you can confirm or cancel before sending. • Fixed sending and opening photos in indirect chats. Reliability • Fixed opening the wrong conversation when tapping a notification, and drafts appearing in the wrong chat. • Fixed a freeze when opening one conversation right after leaving another. • A message that fails to send now says so, explains why, and can be retried or removed. Speed and polish • Conversations open faster and settle without jumping. • Unread messages now show a badge on the app icon. • Fixed an oversized call bar that could cover the screen after minimizing a call. • Fixed the passcode screen appearing with a stray keyboard over it. Privacy and security • Indirect chats now keep every action on their pseudonymous identity. • You can verify a contact directly from their profile, with clearer status when a device or contact isn't verified.

• Channels — create and join end-to-end encrypted broadcast channels • Content-free notifications: alerts never show names or message content • "If away for…" — optional automatic account erase after long inactivity • New in-app diagnostics you can review and export from Settings • More reliable calls, navigation, and syncing, with many crash fixes

A big update. • A fresh, calmer look throughout the app. • Voice calls rebuilt to be private and reliable, end-to-end encrypted, with a Safety Phrase you can compare to confirm who you're talking to. • Smoother conversations: faster scrolling, cleaner chat list, reactions, replies, and read receipts. • Clearer sign-up, notifications, and accessibility. • Many fixes and refinements.

Calls now show up where you expect them. • Missed and completed calls appear in the conversation and in the Calls tab — on both sides. • Verify a new sign-in with a Safety Phrase, or reset your identity if you no longer have your other device. • Fixed a bug that could leave Safety Phrase verification stuck on both phones. • One-time read messages, message info (sent/read/reactions), and richer notifications. • Swipe to archive or delete a chat; unread chats are now easy to spot. • 1-minute and 5-minute disappearing-message timers.

New in this update: • Note to self, scheduled messages, view-once photos, and hidden chats • Silent send — deliver a message without making a sound on the other side • Notifications now show who messaged you, decrypted privately on your own device — content never passes through Apple's servers • Pin, archive, and mark chats unread; decline invites you don't want • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support • Reliability and polish throughout

A big update to Graf. Group chats — start an encrypted group with the people you trust. React to messages, reply with quotes, and see when your messages are read. Verify a contact any time with a Safety Phrase, right from the chat. Capture Protection: your messages render black in screenshots and screen recordings, and everyone in a chat is notified when someone captures it. Plus a refreshed, calmer design throughout.

Safety Phrase — verify who you're really talking to. During a call, compare a short set of symbols with the other person; if they match, a verified badge stays on them across your chats. No one can quietly sit in the middle. Privacy hardening — Graf now keeps no message-key backup of any kind, so nothing on our servers can ever decrypt your messages. A refreshed app icon, plus fixes and polish.

Fixes and privacy hardening: image sharing, in-call speaker control, and stronger protection for call diagnostics and unencrypted-room safety.
