 The notifications are so much better 🔥🔥🔥 
 What improved in notifications? What is notifications facelift? 
 I think that the notification loading is fast now 
 Do you use Primal on iOS? 
 Yes 
 They’re grouped together and labeled more clearly compared to before.  
 Send a screenshot please.

 Just updated, thank you Miljan 🤙🏼

 How are we ensuring governments don’t start censoring us here, now that NewsBreak and Twitter are openly censoring now?

How do we ensure our speech isn’t suppressed here?  
 Make sure you are holding your nsec (nostr private key). Choose the relays you wish to publish to. Even better: run your own relay.  
 The curse of knowledge has got you.  Us laymen don’t think like you do.

We aren’t going to “figure it out”

These types of instructions need to be played out so a 4 year old could do them.  
 *Laid out

(I don’t even know how to edit or delete messages)  
 NGMI 
 What does that mean?  
 Exactly 
 Not helpful 
 Nobody wants to spoon feed you for nothing in return. Put some effort in or suffer the consequences. 
 I’ve got bitcoin, but much more gold and silver.

I’m doing you the favor.  Bitcoin and blockchain technology all together hasn’t gone mainstream because you aren’t thinking about the needs of the people you want to introduce to the technology.

If you want it to stay some obscure techie thing, keep doing what you’re doing.  
 Are there plans to have the option of deleting your primal wallet?

And what is app chrome? 
 Yes, we are looking at adding the ability to deactivate your primal wallet in the settings. Still thinking through the details of how that would work. 

App chrome is the top & bottom navigation bar that now hide more gracefully when you scroll through the feeds.

 Android version today? 
 Not today, but soon™ 
 Good job 👏 
Testing now !! 💪 
 
 Is it possible to switch between wide and narrow feed layout? 
 Not anymore. We had the option while we were still tinkering with layouts, but now we are leaning into the wide layout. 

I must say it took me a little while to get used to it, but now I feel it's superior to the narrow layout.  
 Love the great updates! 
 🤙💙 
 LFG 🔥 
 Feed loading time feels a lot faster! Great job guys

I’ve had some local friends ask about NWC support. Do you have it planned or is it even possible with Apple policies? 
 We support NWC on android. We actually had it implemented on iOS too, but had to remove it to pass app review. 😕  
 Thanks. Sorry to hear that. We’ve had similar issues with app review.

What’s your thoughts on WOT based filtering? Seems it could solve for the harassment I’ve seen people complain about lately. 
 Thanks. Yeah we’ve had similar issues with app review.

 Feature request: I would like to be able to click on the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links on my iPhone. 

I can see that there are links as I make the bottom of the Wallet screen appear by holding my finger to the screen as I scroll up, but the moment I try to click a link, I have lifted my finger from the screen, and the links disappear below the fold. It's impossible to visit those links. Please design for all resolutions, including iPhone SE screens (375x667). 

A bigger comment: This Wallet screen is baffling to me. It asks for highly sensitive data and does not say why. There is no help, no docs. Somewhat of a worst-case scenario for KYC, trustworthiness, etc. 

I will continue to use Primal on the web and hope Primal for the phone gets there. I see the improved design on the phone and remain hopeful! 
 Collecting KYC info is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service. Agreed, we need to do a better job communicating this; it's on our to-do list for the next release. 

The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links should work from within the app. Maybe it's an issue with smaller screen on iPhone SE. In any case, here are the links:

 Oh no! I can’t toggle Wide feed layout back to normal. Wût? 
 I kinda find narrow layout more tidy, wide less coherent. But thats me. 
 Yeah it took me a little while to get used to it (because I am used to Twitter), but now I feel that the wide layout is superior.  
 Great 💜🤙 
 Downloaded it earlier and what an update! The UX is extremely smooth. Thanks to you and the @primal team!🙌🏻 
 native gif support 🙏 
 awesome work
GM 🙃  
 Super smooth, amazing update! 
 Thanks for your work.
Super smooth. 
However I still cannot upload videos from my iOS. 
Video will compress then upload. Then disappear 
 Interesting. Do image uploads work for you?  
 Lets see. A firewood photo from today. 
https://m.primal.net/IRZq.jpg 
 Seems like I can upload a photo. Its the same procedure as before though. (I made a post of this bug a month or so back and other users were experiencing the same)

I choose photo. It uploads fully then disappears. I can choose that photo again and it will upload fine after reselecting. After reselecting it doesn’t appear to need to load. Just upload. 

This procedure is the same for video. I tried to upload a 1 min vid. It will compress fully. Then upload fully. Then disappear. 

After trying to reload as i would with a successful picture, the video will just compress, upload and get stuck in the loop of; compressed success, upload success, disappear. Repeat. 
 An intuitive application without a doubt! ♥️🇧🇷👍 
 Top zaps in the feed is awesome. Hope other clients copy this feature.
