What's New in Scatto for Pixelfed
2.8.0
September 3, 2026
PRIVATE MESSAGES Your Pixelfed account has always had a message inbox. Scatto can now open it. • An inbox, plus a separate Requests tab for people you don't follow — so a first message from a stranger never lands in the middle of your conversations. • Send text and photos. Delete your own messages, mute a conversation, and block or report the other person from inside the thread. • Start one from a search, or from the Message button on someone's profile. • Unread conversations are marked, and Messages sits beside the bell. Off by default — switch it on in Settings ▸ Experimental. WHAT MESSAGES ARE, AND ARE NOT • They are not end-to-end encrypted. They live on your instance, and whoever runs it can read them. That is how Pixelfed messages work everywhere; Scatto says it in the conversation instead of leaving you to assume otherwise. • One to one only. Pixelfed has no group threads, so neither does Scatto. • Whether a message rings depends on your server. Instances that support message pushes will notify you; on the rest, Scatto picks messages up when you open it. A message filed as a request stays silent by the server's own rule. THE LAYOUT SWITCH MOVED Single column or grid now lives in Settings ▸ General, between Theme and Menu position — a choice you make once rather than a button you carry everywhere. Its old toolbar slot holds Messages.t messages
