Envoy 1.8.2 is now live

We’re excited to announce that the latest version of Envoy – 1.8.2 – is now published on all your favorite mobile platforms! To download it, simply visit our download page or check for updates on your platform of choice.

Please note that there can be a significant lag from publishing to general availability due to Apple App Store and Google Play Store review policies and delays.

 

What’s changed

In Envoy v1.8.2, we’ve focused primarily on refining the Envoy experience you know and love, improving the new Buy Bitcoin feature, and adding the ability to import a SeedQR seed as your Envoy mobile wallet seed.

For more details on each of the changes, keep reading below!

 

New Features

  • Added the ability to import a SeedQR seed as your Envoy mobile wallet seed.

    • Ever wanted to use a seed from Passport’s Key Manager extension for your Envoy mobile wallet? Well now it’s easier than ever, now just requiring a single scan of the SeedQR on Passport to populate on Envoy.

Improvements

  • Updated Arti (the underlying Tor library used in Envoy) to version 1.2.4

  • Added option to disable the Buy feature for those users that don’t want to use it

  • Envoy will default to our own instance of mempool.space moving forward

    • Looking for another mempool.space to use to check your own transactions from anywhere? Check out mempool.foundation.xyz 😎

  • Countless visual improvements throughout Envoy

  • Improved the account selection behavior when buying Bitcoin within Envoy

    • Tapping the card stack will now open the account selection screen

    • You can no longer hide/un-hide account balances from these screens

  • Improved dependency vulnerability tracking in GitHub and patched minor upstream dependency issues

  • Envoy will now immediately try to reconnect to the selected node when Tor is turned on or off in Envoy

  • Long pressing a Ramp ID or BTCPay ID from the transaction details view will now copy that field to the clipboard as well

  • Long pressing transaction ID or address will now warn a user before copying

    • Sometimes you don’t want to expose a transaction ID to your clipboard, and this adds an extra choice step for those users.

  • Improved the way that swiping left/right on an account hides or shows the balance, making it more responsive and accurate to user intent

  • New accounts icon added

  • Tapping Send Selected or Send Max will now show all trailing zeroes

  • If a Pending BTCPay voucher is cancelled, it will now disappear from Activity instead of staying Pending forever

  • Improved tap response area in the Coin Details screen

  • Updated informational icon to a warning icon if BDK removed a coin from the selection in high fee environments

  • Improved Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese translations

  • Improved handling of HTTP and HTTPS node addresses in the node address field

  • Added a FAQ section with information about buying bitcoin

  • Scanning BTCPay vouchers from an invalid Bitcoin network will now fail gracefully

  • Updated Support URLs

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an instance where using Android’s native back gesture could be interpreted as a double-back gesture and take the user back two menus instead of one

  • Fixed a minor visual issue where if adding a Passport account after enabling a taproot, Tapping Continue would display an incorrect screen

  • Fixed a minor issue where during wallet setup tapping an account would not make the “tap the account above to receive bitcoin” prompt disappear

  • Fixed a minor issue where if you used android’s native back gesture from the buy bitcoin menu it would take you to the select region page instead of the main accounts menu

  • Fixed a visual bug where tapping Receive while the top right corner menu was open would result in an unintended vertical shift

  • Fixed a back button that did not work in the unlikely scenario that a Magic Backup was not found in our servers

  • Fixed some rare instances where the fee calculation percentage would be incorrectly displayed

  • Fixed a bug where using android’s native back gesture during wallet backup import process could leave the user in a perpetual loading loop

  • Fixed a minor display bug where sometimes the Send screen would be pre-populated with the information of a previously sent transaction

  • Fixed a bug where smaller iPhone screens wouldn’t be able to scroll the seed display when viewing it in Settings

  • Fixed some broken links in the FAQ section
