Hey Primal users!
Now that everyone has upgraded to version 2.2, please let us know what you would like to see in the next release. Feel free to include feature requests, as well as fixes and small improvements that would make the product easier or more fun to use.

Why so we need our first name, last name, birthday, and other personal information just to activate the primal wallet. Lame!
We aren't fans of it either, but this is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service. You can use your self-custodial wallet with Primal android and web apps via Nostr Wallet Connect.
Also, I have been under the impression that the KYC requirement was more related to having the ability to buy Bitcoin in small amounts with fiat directly through the wallet, rather than simply due to the wallet being custodial. After all, there are plenty of custodial wallets out there that do no KYC.

I'd like to have personalized feeds based on my followings, like "One Per Follow" which I used a few months ago and can't find in the feed marketplace anymore.
For now, I'm compensating with custom searches saved as feeds, but it's annoying when I want to change some settings and have to recreate everything from scratch. It would be very useful to be able to edit saved searches.
Additionally, the web version has had an annoying bug for a long time when the light theme is set, when you go to certain sections of the settings, specifically "Notifications" and "Content Moderation", the checkboxes inside the squares in the various options are not displayed.
Thank you and good luck with your work๐ค
I forgot, in advanced searches it would be useful to have the option to choose whether to show only notes or notes + replies
Allow relay connection over ws://
Just updated on #Android .. only 4.2 mb of updates from 1.1x .. took less than 2 seconds to update .. great start ..
More to come ...
The possibility of combining a post with music. Like on Instagram! It would be so cool
On a Android tablet, respect orientation when in full screen. Right now, it forces portrait.
Allow external wallets on iOS devices. Right now, my Android tablet allows alby and my iPhone forces the Primal. Being in Canada, this allows me to find my wallet on Android and I canโt zap on iOS
Would really like to see notification improvements. I donโt get all of the notifications on primal (replies, reactions) and itโs a big reason why I still use other clients alongside primal. Also having more reaction emojis. Donโt really need all of them but if someone posts about a family member dying, Iโd like to react with a ๐ซ instead of a โค๏ธ
Something I talked with nostr:nprofile1qqspywh6ulgc0w3k6mwum97m7jkvtxh0lcjr77p9jtlc7f0d27wlxpspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz8nhwden5te0vejk2ern9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshhqmmsw4kxzusprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmd3dl9ds about recently:
I like to have my phone clock set 5 minutes ahead, just for life/personal scheduling reasons
I found that this screws up lots of functions in Primal, such as zapping. So if I want to zap, I have to go back into my phone settings and switch it back to the automatic timezone time. (It also makes it impossible to log in with nsec from the homescreen, so if anyone else has reported this issue, this is likely why)
It would be awesome if all the functionality still worked when the phone is on a custom time, so I don't have to switch back and forth
Hey Ben, totally understand. We've recently upgraded our wallet logic. The only thing that may not work with your time changed phone is signing in via Android.
Since you're already signed in, try using the app with the time change and let me know if things don't work for you properly. It's possible in this new update that things are better.
Awesome brother, thank you!

I still have 2.1.11. Going to update.
My review of Primal for Android has been updated (including the overall score), based on the improvements made in 2.2. The remaining things I would like to see are detailed there. Here's a summary:
- Better relay handling. Not every relay in my kind 10002 is both read and write, but Primal appears to make no distinction, and editing my relays in Primal sets all of them to both.
- Ability to write long-form. Users expect to be able to create the same content that the client displays. I can understand leaving this out of the mobile apps, but the web client should allow for creating long-form "reads."
- Remote signer support. Android signer is very nice to have, but with the onboarding flow of nstart.me being promoted, and the advent of FROSTR, as well as Amber's ability to do remote login for other devices, more clients need to add it. Both nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn and nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr have implemented it well in Coracle and Nostrudel, for reference.
- NWC Wallets displayed in Primal's wallet tab. NWC has the ability to display balance and transaction details, when configured to do so. It would be great if NWC users could just use the Primal app as their wallet, rather than that tab being entirely useless unless you have a Primal wallet.
- DMs. Take them out or add NIP-17 support.
- Web-of-Trust or Pagerank (Vertex) based search for users. Not mentioned in the review, but all clients really need this so people aren't easily conned into following fake accounts or sending them zaps.
- The Media feed needs better filtering for sensitive content, and preferably a toggle in the settings for hiding or showing sensitive content throughout the client. Would be nice if it could be limited to media posted by your web-of-trust, too.
- Tablet optimized UI for the mobile apps. Looks ok in forced landscape mode, but would be better if landscape mode was available for tablets by default and the landscape UI looked similar to the web client.
That's all I have off the top of my head. Full review below.

No KYC, BTC wallet.
As long as their wallet has the ability to purchase Bitcoin using fiat rails, there will be KYC involved, and I think that feature is helpful for those who are new to Bitcoin, so they can dip their toes in with a relatively low barrier to entry. If there is a group Primal is targeting with their app, it's the person who is not well versed in either Bitcoin or Nostr. It is not a client designed for power-users of either protocol.
I don't care about this noise.
No KYC.
1. You can use your own wallet if it supports NWC if you don't want KYC.
2. If you are on iOS, I would not be surprised to see the above option added soon, given the recent ruling against Apple.
3. Your beef is not with Primal when it comes to KYC laws for anything that touches fiat. Write your congressman.
The only option for Primal to remove KYC on their wallet would be to take away the ability to purchase sats and partner with a different wallet provider (Primal currently partners with Strike, a regulated money transmitter), which they think is an important feature for their target users, so not likely to happen.
Anything is possible, like a no KYC, BTC/lightning wallet.
Sure. nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev would do the trick. Then just connect it to Primal via NWC.
But when it comes to Primal's built-in wallet, provided by Strike, the need for KYC isn't going to change unless they remove the ability to buy sats with fiat from the wallet and they switch wallet providers away from Strike. I don't see them being inclined to do either.
Dikaios1517, money is deeper than laws, and laws are what's forcing KYC. Since Bitcoin is freedom money, eventually, the laws that require KYC will be repealed, and then Primal, if it's still around, will be able to have a non-KYC Bitcoin/lightning wallet. It's only a matter of time.
100% agree! Looking forward to that day!
But it's the laws we have to work toward repealing first, not going after Primal, and really Strike, for being required to comply with them to continue operating. Hence why I mentioned writing your congressman rather than asking Primal to remove KYC. Primal will gladly remove KYC once congress repeals KYC laws.
Your response is a pile of lies and codependence and control. There is no "we." I don't "have to" do anything. I did not "go after" Primal. I'm not interested in your unsolicited, controlling and codependent advice to do anything, let alone write my congressman.
Dikaios1517, I wanted to write to apologize for my overactive and accusative and contentious way I interacted with you. You didn't deserve my negative because you were only trying to help me. I let negative stuff going on with me spill over to how I interacted with you, and that's very not okay and I won't let it happen again. Will you forgive me?
I get it brother, and I forgive you. Figured something must have had your hackles up, so I decided it wasn't worth responding anymore.
Hope all is well, and since your bride let the cat out of the bag, congratulations on the little one on the way!
Thank you! Apparently my "hackles" were quite agitated.
We're expecting and it's great and a massive learning experience.
dont collect user data.
Better spam mitigation for replies, like trust scoring or something like that. It's only a matter of time to the next reply guy attack, better to be early.
I went over to #Coracle during that whole debacle, until nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 released his WoT relay.
Web-of-Trust or Pagerank (see http://npub.world) based filtering for replies would be a great addition to Primal, especially if the user has the ability to turn it on or off, or even adjust how aggressive it is, in the settings.
More language options for the app and note translation.
Request:
When you click on โsee moreโ have the screen open up to the additional content NOT open a new screen.
The UI is much smoother to keep engagement flowing. FB has this right
Seeing more than 30 posts when scrolling is sort of a must have. Or do I miss something?
1) Attachments, or at least pics, in DMs.
2) Live Streams
Every cashu token must be rendered like in Amethyst and be able to nutzaps
There are some times where pages won't load when using a hardened Firefox-based browser from what I notice.
That might be a stability issue on the web end from what I'm aware of.
Edit function for posts. โก๏ธ
I'd like to not need to mute people I've already muted when an update comes. The last update undid my mutes, not sure if all were undone or only some though. ๐ซ
Feature requests:
I like Amethyst's ability to react with more than just a heart, would love to see that incorporated over here. Also love the little indicator saying you follow someone or not, helps with spam.
Native gif keyboard support if that's possible.
Option to automatically block accounts that have hundreds of comments that are 90%+ "GM" and variations. Just good morning harvester bots.
Fixing the post composing would be nice. Writing breaks when you tag someone. Android, Primal latest.
Fix "Popular from npubs you follow"-feed

On primal for iPhone pressing the home button once should take you to the top of the feed (does it now). Pressing it twice should download and take you to the top of latest/trending 24 hrs/trending 48 hrs etc which ever tab itโs on.
Urgently a self-employed grok ๐ซก
Please do allow the option update the lud16 field for a user. Lacking of this makes a lot of other client users not able to zap these users well.

Polls. Non-zap kind.
I can't seem to upload photos on Primal iOS anymore
Works for me. Maybe it was a temporary issue? Can you upload now?
Feeds from Kind 30000 lists.
There was functionality to define custom feeds in the previous version. Why did it disappeared?
Move messages section to the bottom, to the toolbar and allow to refresh and continue scrolling from last viewed post. App fast still, thank you!
Allow entering a relay with ws:// (I have reasons, can elaborate if you like).
Please change the color of usernames links.
The default color of usernames is very hard to read for color blind people
Blue is used for that reason. Good contrast for most all color vision levels
Let me see who bookmarked my posts in one central place.
Metrics and scheduling for social media managers. ๐
Make it easier to tag ๐ท๏ธ (primal is still best at this but can be a struggle sometimes)
Maybe a relay issue, but sometimes I have to refresh like a mother and try several times in a row to post from the browser version. Takes a few minutes sometimes.
That you can upload a photo (add location, load GPS from it) and give a review. (Stars) for restaurants and other places.

Nostr reviews would be amazing. ( so we all can leave google reviews behind us :))
