Port 1.15 - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Fresh out of the workshop, Port 1.15 is something we've poured our hearts and souls here at Numberless. We've listened to our early users and come up with something that we think they, and you will love. Here's what we did to enrich your connections on Port so you can stay safe while still being comfortable putting yourself out there.
 
HARDER
- With cloud backups we've improved the resilience of your connections on Port. Whether you lose your device or stay move to a new one, we've got you covered. You can use iCloud/Google Drive to seamlessly move your account to a new device. Keep the connections that matter to you.
- You can trust that your identity is secure by securing backups with a password. Remember it though, because nobody, not even us over at Numberless can access the data without your it.
- Want agency over your backups? We get it. You're still welcome to manage the backups yourself. Save your account backup file to a location that you control and manage using SFTP, rsync or whatever else floats your boat.

BETTER
- We've improved the way you connect without taking away any of the magic sauce that makes us worthy of being on your phone. Create Ports more conveniently and set permissions for connections before they even form to make sure you only see the messages you want, right from the get go.
- You can now more easily see what's going on with Ports you've sent out from your Ports tab. Keep them in check to understand how exposed you are and tweak it until it meets your comfort level.
- We've also made it easier for you to get to chats that you care about by centralizing them in the home of the app. We've removed any unnecessary noise so you can communicate with who you need to when you need to.
- We've made it easier for you to get your loved ones protected on Port. We added some more education up front, and made connecting more straightforward. Spend less time getting people to understand how to use Port and more time relaxing knowing that they're safe.

FASTER
- We've played some pretty neat tricks with our ones and zeroes to make things faster. Everything is now snappier so you spend less time waiting and more time strengthening relationships.
- Sending and receiving messages feel noticeably faster in the hand. We won't give you arbitrary numbers to describe our speedups- feel it for yourself.
- Send photos, videos, voice notes and files faster with our new souped up back end infrastructure.

STRONGER
- We've improved the reliability of your phone calls. No more random drops, robotic voices or latencies.
- We've patched the annoying little issues that kept you from just enjoying the conversation you were having. 
- We've made improvements to our audio connectivity to prevent echoes and limit background noise so you can use Port anywhere.
 
With this version of Port, we've also cleanup up some of our technical debt that piled on over time. We've made it easier for us to respond to your needs and continue improving your experience on Port to take it from the app you didn't know you needed, to being the only one you need. Join Port and stay in touch with us to help us make Port work for you over at https://portmessenger.com/contribute.
