New: Estimate radio coverage from a transmitter site right in the app, powered by the Meshtastic Site Planner Search within a conversation to find a specific message Get notified when someone reacts to your message Get notified when a firmware update is available for your radio Tap overlapping nodes on the map to pick the one you meant New My Location button to track your position on the map, plus smarter node clustering Major accessibility upgrade throughout the app: VoiceOver support for navigation, messages, charts, the map, and the Watch app, along with Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and improved color contrast Fixed: Bluetooth off now shows a clear in-app message instead of no signal at all The Bluetooth pairing PIN prompt no longer closes before you can enter the code Deleting a direct message conversation actually deletes it now Notifications now clear properly when you read the message The map remembers where you left it instead of opening at a blank location Restored the Share Contact QR option in node details Channel QR codes from other Meshtastic apps now scan correctly Signal quality readings are more accurate, using your radio's real noise floor Fixed several crashes, including one on first launch with Lockdown mode enabled on iOS 17 Smoother, more reliable performance on large, busy meshes

* Redesigned map: a faster native map with downloadable offline basemaps for areas with no connection, plus trace routes shown on the map with a guided 3D flyover. * Waypoint geofences: add a radius or bounding box to a waypoint and get alerted when nodes enter or leave. * Local display names: give any node your own nickname, shown throughout the app and kept on your device. * Node status messages: see what a node is broadcasting right on its card and detail view. * Packet signing (firmware 2.8+): verified signed broadcasts now show a shield. * LoRa region and preset compatibility (firmware 2.8+): presets are filtered to those legal for your region, with warnings on licensed bands. * Region-aware firmware downloads with an automatic fallback. * Support for lockdown-mode radios, including passphrase unlock and session controls. * Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) added. * Copy trace route output, plus many stability and performance improvements.
