Test flight too?
Yes!
What about notifications. Can't get em or toggle
Notifications are hard to do in a privacy preserving way, we'll be tackling this eventually.
So I have to get in app to see if someone sent anything?
At the moment yes, it will take some more time to build native notifications in a privacy preserving way.
What about nostr:nprofile1qqst4dr6ttrw6s28squnwwuj5vsvsly33h7r4nsuzz3f8nf3wjsmk9cprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumpw3ehgunpd35kztnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhrq7rrdpshgtnrdakj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uan9ak9? I added my test npub, configured Pokey to listen to the relevant relays, and had another WH user send me a message - no notification from Pokey
The difficulty lies in the obfuscated metadata, on the relay is only a event with cypher text, a random group ID, signed by a random key, and those continuously rotate for a group. So White Noise would have to communicate to pokey for which group IDs to look for, a non trivial change to the code.
Where can I see the relays I use and how can I set them up?
Click on your top left profile picture, then go to Network Relays.
Nice! The QR code scanner what was missing for me. Thank you
The biggest issues like the errors on starting a cpnversiation and the jnability to delete them still exist.
Check if your relays are connected, that should solve the invite issue.
Delete chats is coming soon.
Awesome work guys! Thanks!
fucking exciting
🎉Realmente muito amistoso, gostei bastante. Espero que realmente seja focado em privacidade 100% Tem para Linux Tails? 
It does not work with GrapheneOS
What exactly does not work?
nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q4gnztg is officially supported, and it works on our testing devices.
I write to other people - also WN Support - and no answers.
Do you see relays connected in your settings?
Why would whitenoise have 0 relays connected by default? In all other nostr apps, I have them set up. Why should I setup something more only for whitenoise?
YAY!!!
So far I like it but I some user feedback: I like to use my primary messaging app to also make notes for myself (maybe uncommon but I know at least a few other people who also do this), but get an error when I attempt to do so in the White Noise app.
Guys let's install the release and try again tonight- I have to lock in 4 the next few hours first tho
What happened to brown noise?
Is 0.1.2 available on TestFlight? I only see 0.1.1
It’s here now ☺️
It became available now yes
Seems you can use nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and nostr:npub1whtn0s68y3cs98zysa4nxrfzss5g5snhndv35tk5m2sudsr7ltms48r3ec together… it breaks relay lists… amazing
I always test with a throwaway npub 😬
All good, I just re added relays back to Damus and turned off White noise until it’s fixed. 😁
Safe nsec is the way
But… say you test with your throw away, if you haven’t used it with Damus, how would you determine that when you do use your primary it would actually be safe? 🤔
At this point i assume any cross nesec use will clear my contact list. Even with hist.nostr relay
The next release will improve relay management substantially and hopefully fix this issue.

I downloaded it and I sent a message invitation using their npub key and the person is not replying. So I guess the problem is the receiver of the message didn’t get a notification that someone sent them a message , maybe ?
I think I read that notifications break encryption so they can't include them at this point, so have to go check manually.
Is that so ? That is weird , Notifications can break encryption .. not possible.
But you are right that man need to check their message on white noise manually .
Beside it still on beta testing so things can go
Broken, i assumed .
It might be that you were not connected to relays and the message never got delivered.
I'm trying it out on my phone and tablet. Looks like the chats don't sync between the the devices and when I message people from the same nsec it creates a new chat.
Correct, at the moment multi device support is not yet working. This will come in the near future, Thanks for testing!
Cant connect with my default nsec (see video)
Another nsec from nostr:npub19ysk0p0hkfq6d6ampav08mug9d2ymtar7cxv5en24pzuz2nrdfcqrae008 works
What could be the issue here?

There's only a picture, no video...
I saw, here is the video: https://shares.sebastix.dev/UZ2GxJgb.MP4
this version is doesn't work for me
Will you be releasing an AppImage of this version? Thanks.
Potentially for the future desktop release.
When will we be able to sign in with Amber?
As soon as our library rust-nostr supports it.
Great branding.
