V1.13 Release - Socks, Spam and Keycard

Us -

The latest version of Status mobile introduces some new features and UI improvements to give you more control over your messaging experience.

WIP Activity Center

The latest release introduces a new “Activity Center” in which new chats and group chat invitations will appear in this section, where you will be able to accept or decline the request. This is designed to give you more control over and prevent invites from spamming your chats feed.

Receive Messages from Contacts Only

Giving you further control and privacy, you can now set a privacy setting to ensure you receive private messages and group chat invitations from contacts only. This new privacy feature is also in response to recent spam attacks that have been hitting Status in the recent weeks.

Delivery Confirmation for Private Groups

Now, messages sent within private groups will be marked as confirmed with a double check mark if at least one of the members has received it. This was implemented in private 1:1 chats recently and brings Status closer to feature parity with other mainstream messengers despite the decentralized architecture of the mobile application.

Keycard Updates

Now you can reset your keycard (remove your secrets from the card), as well as change your PIN and PUK. Also you now have the ability use an additional Keycard as a complete back up to your existing one.
