White Noise v2026.5.22 is out.
iOS push notifications are live. The Notification Service Extension decrypts the payload on your device, so Apple sees a delivery but not the message, the sender, or your identity. Messages now render markdown. There's a blocked users screen in Settings, deep links for chats and profiles, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese support.

Most apps want your email and your phone. Then, a code sent to the number they just made you give them.
White Noise wants two taps. An identity that's only yours and works across all Nostr clients, not just here.
It’s not magic, it’s maths. 👇

As an open-source, decentralized chat client, White Noise faces a lot of tough questions on moderation.
Won’t anonymous chat help criminals communicate?
How can you guarantee the safety of users?
What about children? Who will protect them?
This article explains why centralized moderation fails every time, and how White Noise plans to approach the topic.

The most effective way to control what people say isn't to silence them. It's to make them wonder if someone is listening. That wondering is already enough.

X can ban you tomorrow. Instagram can wipe 10 years of your content. YouTube decides what you see.

A phone number isn't an identity. It's a billing record with a SIM attached. Every time an app requires one to sign up, it's not verifying who you are. It's verifying who can be invoiced, traced, or cut off.
These are not the same thing.

The sign Nostr is winning? Users don't know they're using it. Think of Bitchat: clients finally stopped feeling like "Nostr things" and started feeling like actual apps.

Things people say in private chats every day:
— "the presentation was bad, don't tell her"
— "I don't think I can afford this month"
— "the test came back, still waiting"
— "I'm thinking of leaving him"
None of this is criminal. All of it is private.

Encryption without metadata protection is like whispering in a spotlight.
Cypherpunks fixed this. MLS (Messaging Layer Security) makes group messaging scalable and encrypted.
We took that standard and shipped it on Nostr.
Now nobody knows who's talking to who. Not even us.
