essageSeal 1.3 brings a new native Liquid Glass icon and improvements throughout the app. - More reliable encryption, signature checks, and key handling. - Improved encrypted backup creation and restore. - Better preservation of message text, spaces, and Unicode when editing or copying. - Easier keyboard dismissal in the app and Messages extension. - Clear After Share preserves edits made while the share sheet is open. - Improved hiding of opened results when leaving a screen or backgrounding the app. - Updated Help and Guided Tour. Backup passwords now preserve spaces exactly. For a backup created with a version that ignored spaces at the start or end of a password, omit those spaces when restoring that backup.

This update adds Nearby Exchange for in-person setup and cleans up how you save and open protected text. - Add Nearby Exchange so two nearby devices can compare a safety code and save public identities for later use - Keep nearby pairing local and foreground-only, with no inbox, history, or cloud service - Split the old recipient workflow into dedicated Open and People tabs for clearer decrypt, verify, and import steps - Refresh Messages, Help, Guided Tour, and the visual explainer for the new pairing flow - Improve reply, import, and saved-person reuse flows after local pairing

This update moves MessageSeal to a pinned Apple-native hybrid post-quantum crypto profile and strengthens identity verification across the app. - Encrypted messages now use XWing recipient wrapping, and signed messages now use hybrid ML-DSA87 + P384 signatures - Public identity bundles are now signed, with full 128-bit verification fingerprints for stronger identity checks - Added sender-authenticated encrypted messages alongside readable signed plaintext - Added a visual “How This Works” explainer, plus expanded Help, Guided Tour, and in-app protocol reference - Improved compose, recipient import, secure reply, and Messages extension flows
