Everyone else on the mesh sees nothing. 911 Emergency Broadcast Send an emergency alert with your GPS coordinates to every nearby Phantom user who has opted in. Rate-limited to 2 per day. Tap to navigate to the sender's location. Group Voice Capsules Hold to talk to a role channel or group. Received in the caller's real cloned voice on every matching device. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where renamed Meshtastic nodes weren't discovered during BLE scanning. Fixed broadcast channel messages showing raw node IDs instead of custom names. Fixed direct message replies not reaching stock Meshtastic app users. Improved Disconnect button behavior. Various stability improvements.

Unusable

Does not connect to node.
Update for developer. No other software is connected to the node. No cables, links, connections of any kind. The node has Bluetooth turned on and the Phantom app just sits and says scanning but does not connect to the node.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Meshtastic hardware only allows one BLE connection at a time. If your node is already connected to another app (like the Meshtastic app), Phantom won’t be able to connect until you disconnect it there first.
