What's New?

This is a hot-fix release aimed to fix the bugs you guys helped us uncover, as well as optimizations to make the app feel better and run smoother.

The Big Stuff

• QOL improvements and bug fixes from the major rewrite
• Upgrade to Flutter 3.7
  • You should see less jank / FPS drops in general.
• New method to fully fix contacts issues (missing contact names)
  • The app will attempt to "detect" if this issue affected you. If it does, you will be prompted with instructions on how to fix it.
  • The issue only affects you if you had SMS and iMessage chats for the same contact.
  • If you did not get prompted and are still seeing contact issues, go to Settings -> Troubleshooting -> Re-sync Handles / Contacts
