We hope you’ll like Keychat’s custom-avatar approach.
1. We believe a chat app user’s avatar is different from a microblogging app user’s avatar and shouldn’t be publicly uploaded to relays.
2. Keychat can’t rely on a media server that promises long-term avatar storage. With the current avatar model, there’s no need for a long-lived media server.
Keychat 1.36.5 is out—now on GitHub, ZapStore, and the App Store.
GitHub: https://github.com/keychat-io/keychat-app/releases
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/keychat-io/id6447493752
What’s new:
Wallet rebuilt on the official Cashu SDK. Note: your old transaction history can’t be migrated to this version—sorry for the incompatibility.
Custom avatar and Lightning Address.
Private by design: avatar and Lightning Address are stored locally and never uploaded to relays. They’re shared only when you choose “Send Profile,” embedded in end-to-end encrypted messages for true peer-to-peer propagation.
Lightning transfers to a contact: if your chat partner has set and shared their Lightning Address, you can send a payment from the chat room’s settings page.
Mini App browser polish: a virtual Home button (bottom-left or bottom-right). Long-press to return to the Browser; short-press to open the options menu.
Delivery insights: messages now show how many relays delivered them—tap the number for details.
Device Authentication support.
