# Zapp Update — 16 September 2026

**Android installs went from 20 devices to 75. The iOS beta link went out for public testing three days ago and already has 41 testers.**

**Android 4.6.7 is live.** Seven releases went out this month and everything below is already in users’ hands.

**iOS 1.0.3 is with Apple** for App Store review, the first Zapp iOS build to get there. Governance voting, the selfie check and a chat speed pass pending for next build.

## Live on Android now (4.6.1 → 4.6.7)

- **Gift ZEC with a link.** Zapp creates a throwaway wallet, funds it, and gives you a link to share. Whoever opens it claims the money, with no account needed on either side.
- **Cash out to your bank or payment app.** You offer USDC, a buyer takes it, and they pay you in your own currency. Zapp never holds the money.
- **Buy ZEC with local currency** , now including Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru and the Philippines.
- **Vote on Zcash governance proposals** from inside the app.
- **Export a viewing key** , behind the app lock.
- **Hide your balance** with an eye button, including in activity and charts.
- **Photos in chat arrive even if you go offline.** The recipient gets the picture after you have closed the app.

## In the iOS build with Apple

- The same gift links, cash out, local currency buying and balance privacy that Android has, plus a portfolio chart valued in your own currency and a required app lock at setup.
- **Chat caught up to Android** : contact cards, QR codes to start a chat, full screen photos, files, GIFs, payment requests, split bill.

## Waiting on the next iOS build

- Governance voting, a selfie check that raises your buy limit without a social account, and a noticeably smoother chat screen.
