• Delivery while backgrounded — your friend's phone confirms your message the moment it arrives, even if offGrd isn't open on their screen. • Bluetooth delivery got tougher — messages received over Bluetooth while the app was in the background used to wait for a retry; now they're captured instantly and waiting for you when you open the app. • Group chats now notify you in the background, titled with the group name — tap to jump straight into the thread. • Truthful ticks — a message only shows "delivered" when it was actually read-able on the other end. No more false confirmations. • Sharper presence — reopening the app now shows who's really still on the mesh, instead of ghosts of people who left. • Stronger identity protection — your encryption keys are now locked behind a hardware-backed key in the iOS Keychain. Your identity migrates automatically; nothing to do. • Squashed a rare crash during Wi-Fi handoffs in dense crowds, and fixed a stuck loading screen after a failed start. Get your squad on this version — background delivery works best when everyone has it.

Connect requests, fixed and faster • Requests now arrive instantly — and you get a notification the moment someone wants to connect • Get notified when your request is accepted, so you can start chatting right away • If someone already sent you a request, you'll see Accept/Decline instead of sending a duplicate • Cancelling a request now actually stops it from being delivered • Delete your account any time from Settings — removes your PIN, chats, and iCloud backup Polish, everywhere • Full VoiceOver support and bigger tap targets across the app • Respects your Reduce Motion and text size settings • Sharper icons, cleaner light mode, and smoother chat scrolling • Faster message saving and more accurate hop counts on the mesh

Connecting with people nearby is now instant and reliable. • Connection requests send the moment you tap — no more retries or restarts. The other person sees your request right away, and your chat shows up immediately marked "pending" until they accept. • Unread message badges now count correctly so you never miss what's piled up. • Faster and smoother across the board — messages and status updates are quicker, especially in a busy crowd. Thanks for testing offGrd. Keep the mesh alive.
