• Wallet birthday year picker (in Settings) — choose the year your wallet activity starts, and the node only downloads compact filters from that point forward.
• Initial storage drops from ~13 GB to under 2 GB — by skipping irrelevant historical filters, the on-device data footprint is roughly an order of magnitude smaller out of the box.
• Changing the birthday automatically re-syncs the wallet, so transactions appear without manually re-loading the descriptor.
