Following October's update, EXTRA SAFE keeps building out both sides of the app — the wallet and the chat. This update, arriving in early November, makes it faster to start sending assets, adds new ways to express yourself in a conversation, and makes calls and messaging hold up better across the board. Here's everything that's new.

Simplified Wallet Setup

Sending or receiving funds in a chat used to require a separate wallet setup in its own tab, and both sides needed an activated wallet before a payment could go through. EXTRA SAFE now gets you from chat to sending assets in two steps — no extra onboarding needed. Activation, sending, and the result all stay inside the same chat, with no switching tabs along the way.

Quick Selection of Assets

The attachment menu now gives you quick access to more of your most-used assets, right where you already pick a photo or a file. Picking what to send takes one tap, right inside the chat you're already in.

Custom Profile Avatars

EXTRA SAFE keeps your real identity private, which can make it hard to tell contacts apart at a glance. Custom profile avatars fix that: pick a look that's uniquely yours across contacts, chat lists, and call screens. The avatar stays abstract — it makes you recognizable inside EXTRA SAFE, not identifiable outside it.

A Richer Chat Experience

Replies in EXTRA SAFE now carry more visual context. Voice message replies come with interactive waveform previews, and message quotes show thumbnail previews, so you can see what's being referenced without opening it.

Steadier Calls

Calls now run on an upgraded engine built to reduce drops and freezing on Android. Backgrounding the app no longer ends a call in progress, ringtones respond faster, and calls connect more smoothly overall.

Performance and Stability

This update also includes a set of fixes under the hood — fewer crashes, steadier chat history recovery on slow connections, and quicker loading on launch and reconnection.

Together, these changes make starting a wallet faster, conversations richer, and calls hold up better than before. We hope you notice the difference the next time you open EXTRA SAFE.

Note: Swaps aren't currently available on iOS.
